Hello and welcome to a brand new episode of Collecting Keys – Real Estate Investing Podcast! We’re glad you joined us. Today we discuss the value of consistency in seeing results, and why the process of becoming location independent is dependent on the team you choose. We talk about the toss-up of choosing to split opportunities and fees with someone who can help you to grow, and list some of the indicators that can inform your decision of whether to flip, wholesale, or rent.

You’ll learn why value-add is much more than just cosmetic, and why sometimes it’s much more beneficial to wholesale an outdated home. Find out what you can learn by looking at your appraisal value, and hear about the dangers of over-renovating, before hearing why your financial position is the ultimate indicator of which option is the right choice for you. Thanks for tuning in!
