Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever

Today Theo and Travis will discuss the importance of thinking about the exit strategy before entering a deal. In a way, this is not the topic that gets covered often since most investors are not thinking ahead far enough. However, selling the asset is a vital part of the investment process.

Travis gives an example of how something that looks like a great buy at first can turn out to be a lemon if nobody wants to take it off your hands. And just because a property is at a great acquisition point, it doesn’t mean that you should jump into the deal.

Today Theo and Travis will be sharing a list of 5 risk profiles in real estate. And while these risk profiles are the same for any real estate, the hosts will be focusing specifically on multifamily properties.

The list ranges from A-list properties located in the country’s top markets that are considered to be cash flow properties to buildings that are considered to be high-risk investments.

And while it’s important to invest within your risk tolerance, having the property be flagged as “high risk” may not mean that it’s a bad investment. Theo and Travis share their thoughts on what can make a risky investment attractive to a limited partner.
