    Great webinar, at AREI we always look at the property type and the neighborhood in which the property is in. Makes a huge difference on an investment property or a retail flip!

    Brandon, You’re awesome. That’s the exact question I had and my answer, after listening to your engaging and succinct podcast, is that I want to do BOTH. But I have to start with a goal so I have adjusted and refined my plan to generating a quick profit through flipping and then using that profit to buy rental properties to create multiple streams of passive income. Before your podcast, I was about to make an offer on a SFR that fits the rental category, but it would tie up my current cash and prevent me from beginning a flip. So I had it backwards. And I love the Walt Disney quote at the end — I am definitely reading and learning too much right now and not acting — I got the message 😉

    Brandon, I have been contemplating to quitting my job as an executive and build my own business in real estate. This podcast helped define the type of real estate investing that I should start in, whin in my case, is flipping. Thanks again
