Do you think real estate investing is a gateway to money and success? Don’t be fooled! Real estate can be a tricky investment if you don’t know what you’re getting into. Many roadblocks can impact your portfolio equity and value. The truth is, real estate investing is both a people business and a long-term investment. If you want to succeed, you need to be patient, strategic, and consistent.

We here at the Collecting Keys Podcast are relaunching this episode as a reminder of what real estate investing is all about. We talk about the common roadblocks in real estate investing and the value of good properties. We also discuss the differences between cash flow and equity, and why you need a good balance of both.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Real estate investing is a people business
• Balancing cash flow and equity is important for success
• It’s better to consistently buy rather than speculate on properties
• If it’s a good deal today, it will remain a good deal tomorrow
• Equity is more significant than cash flow in the long term
