On this episode you’ll learn:

• How to determine if you should use your equity to diversify.
• The best way to get your books organized.
• How to invest with bad credit.

How to Determine If You Should Use Your Equity to Diversify

If you have available equity and you’re considering utilizing it to grow wealth, I think you should go for it! Remember, you can’t eat equity and that equity is yours. Especially right now while interest rates are low, I highly recommend using the bank’s money to increase your net worth and gain cash flow.

The Best Way to Get Your Books Organized

While I don’t have specific recommendations on a budgeting software, I do highly recommend working with a CPA who knows real estate. For the best in the business, book a call with Wealthability at morrisinvest.com/lower-taxes.

How to Invest with Bad Credit

If you want to start investing but you have bad credit, you just have to put in the work. There are three things you need to make a real estate transaction happen: money, a deal, and people. If you can find a deal, money will follow. Because of that, I’d recommend trying to find a great deal! The first thing I’d suggest is looking into wholesaling or driving for dollars. Another option is to partner with another investor.
