How to Build Your Real Estate Portfolio the Right Way

This episode with Brandon Rush, a real estate agent and investor based out of Central Connecticut was inspiring and one of the most transparent interviews we’ve had.

House Hacking was Brandon’s entry point into real estate. After finding success with that initial three-unit home, he went on to purchase another multifamily property and built his portfolio to ten doors. 

Listen in as Brandon shares how he deals with tenants who are unable to pay rent, why it’s important to get clear on your gaps and work with people who can fill them, and why he left his corporate job to go into real estate full-time 

Highlights

1) If you’re a new investor, you need to be aware that cash flow is not the only metric you should be focused on. Your key metrics should instead center around how your investment might perform in ten years versus tomorrow.

2) It’s better to sell a property, where the risks outweigh the potential rewards, and cut your losses than to keep it to avoid “embarrassment”. Remember that everyone makes mistakes.

3) Consistency (or lack thereof) will make or break you as a real estate agent. Behind the glamor we all see on TV, a lot of the work is really a numbers game, which involves a ton of phone calls for either forming new relationships or maintaining existing ones.
