Kevin recently chatted with financial planner Marc Bautis about securing your financial future as a real estate investor. They dove into some of the biggest money mistakes investors make and practical tips to avoid them. A key takeaway - start saving early and often! Compounding interest is your best friend. Marc shared clever ways to use real estate itself as a college savings fund. By purchasing multifamily properties and paying them off over 15 years, you can later tap equity to pay tuition and keep the asset. Pretty neat strategy! He clarified how Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) allow investors to defer taxes through a 1031 exchange into a more passive investment. Though you sacrifice some control, it solves the problem of passive vs active management. They also discussed how cash flow trumps profit, especially for investors building a portfolio over time. Focus on consistent cash flow so you don't run out of money and have to scramble or sell assets you want to keep. Stress testing your overall financial plan was another key point. Make sure you understand potential downsides and have contingency plans in place. Limit risks through insurance and balanced diversification. Lots of practical tips in here!
