While it's easy to get swept up in the excitement of finding deals, overlooking these key areas can significantly impact your long-term success.A solid tax plan helps you take advantage of deductions, optimize your investment structure, and retain more of your income.

Hey Brooke —really enjoyed reading your post and it sounds like you're making some strong and intentional moves, especially with how you’ve optimized that Cleveland 4-unit (30% CoC is no joke!).

I strongly believe BRRRRs in this market will typically require patience to achieve a good return.  

Fifteen percent IRR is possible, and single digit cash on cash is achievable. 

Since that first deal, and we’ve completed 20+ investment properties since, but we still continue to strive toward our goal of achieving financial freedom through real estate investing!

Unless your rents increase faster than inflation, you cannot achieve lifelong financial independence.

I am extremely proud to share that, by our estimation, we have achieved and far surpassed this $1 trillion objective.Among the 3.15 million members who have cumulatively joined BiggerPockets, our survey data indicates that 29% (913K) have reached millionaire status.

I learned this from a truly gifted and successful NJ Salesman; My Mentor, his name was Max.I have met many decent, hard working people, much smarter than me who have spent enormous amounts of time & money but they have never achieved the income they desired.

And for big developers or asset managers, there are platforms that use AI to optimize portfolios, forecast income, and reduce vacancy.Overall, it’s making things faster, more personalized, and way more data-driven.

Obvi, I will never stop direct mail because it's the most targeted way to get and close deals (just advertise for EXACTLY what your buyers are looking for - it's the EASIEST money) but I sure as heck don't focus on it like I used to.I used to say "bleh I dont want to waste my time on a website cos that takes foreeeever to optimize in order to start getting leads" but WHOA was I sadly mistaken or what.
