What Do You Want! The Truth.

John Felix Perez
Posted

I had a mentor ask me a very important question. What Do You Want? At first I wanted a cash flowing investment property and to get as many as I could as fast as I could. At the time, living with my family of 5 in my Dad’s house, a 4 bedroom 2 bath house with over 10 people, was good for me. I hit the ground running looking for a property that hit the 1% rule. In my market “Guam” that is a tall order. I also neglected the fact that maybe my wife of thirteen-years had other plans. She wanted us to get into a place of own. We ended up sitting down and compromising with both our ideas and found a median; house hacking a duplex. I’m proud to say we did it, knowing what you want, and if you have a spouse or partner what they want and having a vision that aligns with your goals is essential not only in real estate investing but in life as well.
