Adam Macias What to do with that first real estate check - Thoughts from a newbie question
20 June 2025 | 0 replies
I was at a meeting last night with a newer investor.She wants to get into wholesaling.She thinks the best thing to do with that first check is reward herself.I get it, I've been there too.Best thing to do is set aside a percentage for taxes and the rest just goes back into marketing.For most getting started, they don't really have much money.So, to come across a $10,000 check is very rare for them.Let's say after taxes you're left with $8,000.That's an immense amount of advertising.That's 20,000 postcards.That's 100's of thousands of phone numbers and a great dialer.That's a crap ton of internet leads you can buy.KEEP THE BUSINESS MOVING.The reward will come.
