// CLIPS FROM eXp Realty
“The analogy that best described it for me was that life is like you're juggling four or five balls”
“The real difference is their comfortability with risk and their approach to it”
“If you're an entrepreneur or a business owner and you don't go to work you just don't get paid”
“He endless realtors who called him kept saying you're not going to be able to sell it on your own”
“It's very up and down, it's really an odd dynamic”
“What concerns me is realtors celebrating the recent mortgage changes”
“To reference Thatch Win, his strategy is figure out how many homes it takes where the rent funds your lifestyle”
“That's something that I had a big realization from one of the guys I've learned the most from”
“There's a lot of pressure to where people feel like they almost should become an entrepreneur”
// LESSONS FROM eXp Realty
Doing your own renovations saves huge capital and keeps you mentally engaged through tangible daily progress.
Hire out only electrical and permitting; self-perform the rest of the scope to control cost and quality.
Buy on a defined buy box: properties where you can immediately add value, like an unfinished basement or bad layout.
Budget for hidden renovation surprises — structural cracks and foundation issues can add ten or twenty grand fast.
Refinance an appreciated rental to pull out the down payment for the next property and compound the portfolio.
Reject the flip-for-quick-cash glamour; hold long-term and pay properties down so no one can take them from you.
