So I’m now a renter.
.
😳I’m a real estate investor that rents.

Not what most investors do, admittedly. But I have good reasons for it!

Not only am I sharing what those reasons are, but I’m sharing the 5 things that were on my wish list for a rental.

And SPOILER: I got all 5!

If I had a dime for every time I’ve uttered those words the last year my new house would be paid for...especially during this custom home building journey.
.
We were SUPPOSED to break ground in November. It’s January. Not a single bit of dirt has been moved 🤦‍♀️.
.
When you buy a spec house, you’re blissfully unaware of the numerous hurdles it took to get to the breaking ground process.
.
Many of the delays are outside my control (except that 2 week delay where I couldn’t decide where I wanted a door 😬).
.
BUT we finally have clearance to break ground, & we’re now shooting for the beginning of February!
.
.
➡️Psst- if you love the rendering & inspiration for my house, be sure to tap that ❤️!

I did something I’ve never done before:
.
This week I went an entire day without checking my email.
.
That may not sound like a big deal— but in this industry it is!
.
As an agent, it’s easy to work 24/7. It’s tempting to ALWAYS be available. It’s scary to be inaccessible. We are constantly on our phones texting another agent, speaking with our clients or responding to an email.
.
Our livelihoods depend on us being there for our clients.
.
But a staggering 87% (😳) of real estate agents fail & leave the profession in the first 5 years.
.
There are a lot of factors that contribute to that stat, but burnout is one. I respect the hustle mentality. I won’t ever fault an agent for working.
.
But just a reminder: YOU & I ARE HUMANS. If we don’t prioritize a work-life balance, it won’t ever happen!
.
.
Spoiler: The world didn’t end because I responded 24 hours later to my emails.

Are you one of the thousands of homeowners thinkin

Are you one of the thousands of homeowners thinking about selling in 2021? Well, let me state the obvious:
.
➡️➡️2020 Changed the rules of the game.
.
Not only did how buyers shop for homes change, or how we market & close properties change— but HOW a seller is supposed to prep a home to sell drastically changed...and it set the tone for 2021.
.
🤔So what changed? Yes, your home will sell fast if priced right. That has NOT changed. But what buyers are expecting of sellers HAS changed.
.
.
➡️I’m breaking it all down for you guys in my latest Homes.com post. Sold a house before? Yeah, the rules of the game have changed since the last time!
.
Hop over to the link in my bio to see what’s changed and how you can effectively prep your home to sell in 2021 (the 2nd one is now a staple in all of my listings!).
.
🚨ATTN AGENTS: This is a great free resource for you to use in your business!

HOW I GOT STARTED IN REAL ESTATE: As a very bored

HOW I GOT STARTED IN REAL ESTATE:

As a very bored kid, I sat at countless open houses, home showings, and job sites with my Dad. I swore real estate was not for me!

Flash forward decades later, and that same bored kid was several years into successfully investing in real estate— so I switched careers and became a Realtor.

The strategy I used:
.
✔️I specifically timed my career exit so that I would have 3 more months of paychecks coming.
.
✔️I had another 3 months of expenses saved
.
✔️I shopped around for the cheapest health insurance
.
✔️Luckily everyone I knew was already aware I was involved in real estate as a side hustle, so my career change was an obvious progression. For that first year, my resume as a flipper is what gave me the credibility needed as a rookie agent.
.
✔️I did NOT flood my personal social media with spammy Realtor posts
.
✔️I still woke up early, created a routine, and figured out what it meant to “work the business” of real estate.
.
.
I’m now almost 5 years into being a Realtor, & I have since gotten my Brokers license. One day, I’ll own the family brokerage. And I have no regrets, but the transition to a feast or famine career definitely requires A LOT of planning.
.
➡️SWIPE to see that bored kid at one of Dad’s many job sites decades ago! (& notice he had to bribe me with milkshakes!)
