Money advice is subjective, what works for you may not work for someone else, but it's always better to plan. I'm quite lucky exposed to personal finance at an early age, started job 19, bought first home 28, got laid-off work 36 amid covid-outbreak, and at once I consulted an advisor to handle growing my finance. As of today, I'm only 25% short of my $1m goal after subsequent investments.

Ken is right 👍 learning how to run real estate takes time but if you keep going you will understand it. And become very rich. It takes time that's why you have to start small to grow your confidence to do bigger deals. Jumping in is not always the best solution, doing it slow, and creating deal networks is more wise. Great video.

I have been working for two real estate investors here in Oregon for the last 17 years. At the beginning of last year I purchased an 8 plex with a partner with an average rent of $830 a month. I remodeled all the units and moved in new tenants and current rents are now $1550. I was able to do this because of my experience managing other people’s assets.

@maxt1617 Месяц назад

Regarding being an operator first and an owner/investor later... damn right. Same in equities; it's been such an advantage to know how business operate first and how bad 'negative news' actually is... and then become an investor (in cheap, downtrodden stocks). Too many investors or city analysts, and they don't know how a business actually operates, only what the outputs look like (accounts, presentations).

@joshs2733 4 месяца назад

Good afternoon Ken, love your show. I know you are busy, but can I ask what recent construction costs (per square foot or per unit) you have seen for small infill apartments in your market? 5-10 unit 2-3 story buildings. I know that is an extremely open-ended question, but if you have any cost numbers at all I would appreciate it. I am a commercial appraiser that is asked by banks to put an insurance value on existing buildings. So, if I appraise an apartment complex for market value, they would also like a replacement value on each building, not constructing all buildings at the same time. Sadly, there is minimal single buildings being constructed in my market. So, can I ask if you have done any new small apartment complexes, or heard recent construction prices? Thank you for your time, Josh Stroeb
