About this episode

If you handed me $100,000 today and said "go buy real estate," I would not buy one house. I'd buy three. And I'm going to show you exactly how I'd think about it, using real numbers from clients who've done it with me. Watch the Free Training: The Lazy Investor Method | "You've done the research. So why haven't you bought yet?" This free training breaks down the three things keeping almost every first-time investor stuck and how to finally move forward with confidence. | Watch here: https://ladyluckinvestments.com/lazy-training-sign-up In this episode: - The two things most smart people do with $100,000 that quietly cap their wealth - Why one $700,000 rental near you is riskier than it feels (and what happens when that one tenant leaves) - How Laura went from our first call to two St. Louis rentals under contract in seven days, with $56,000 down instead of $100,000 buried in one house - The three things that have to be right for any of this to work: the market, the team, and the deal itself See you on the next one. Melissa----------------------Most people don't stall because they can't read a mortgage calculator. They stall because nobody will tell them which market, which team, and which house. If that's you, the next step is simple: In about 40 minutes I walk you through the exact People, Property, and Process system I use to buy out of state without becoming a landlord, including a real property projecting a 17% return that I would not buy and why. Register, and I'll also send you my "Deal or No Deal" Calculator so you can screen a property in about 30 seconds. Watch it on demand; no live call to wait for.
