- 0:12SPEAKER_00: Without further ado, let's dive in.
- 0:17SPEAKER_01: Hi everyone, we are at the last episode of the investor type segments.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: Today I'm gonna discuss about an incredibly common type of an investor.
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: I call it the I want to buy where I live mindset.
- 0:37SPEAKER_01: These investors come in with one line that I've that I've heard hundreds of times.
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: I want to buy an investment property near my house.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: It is easier.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: I know the area.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: I can keep an eye on it.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: Maybe even fix things myself if needed.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: Now, let me be clear.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: Wanting to be familiar with your investment is understandable.
- 1:05SPEAKER_01: But buying in your own suburb just so that you can drive past it on the way to work, that's not a strategy.
- 1:14SPEAKER_01: That's just comfort.
- 1:17SPEAKER_01: Here's the reality.
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: If your investment is rented through a property manager, as it should be, you actually can't just show up.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: You are not allowed to check in whenever you want.
- 1:35SPEAKER_01: And even if you could, you shouldn't.
- 1:40SPEAKER_01: What happens with this type of investor is they limit themselves to a tiny patch of property, often in the area that's already peaked, and miss out on much better opportunities elsewhere.
- 1:54SPEAKER_01: Now, if you are a hands-on person with DIY skills, fantastic! That skill set can save you money when you renovate before renting or add value to a new uh purchase.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: But real success comes when you combine that ability with strategy.
- 2:20SPEAKER_01: I always tell this investors need to have a strategy in place with your with each and every investor skill sets, that becomes a a good investment.
- 2:34SPEAKER_01: Some of the best performing portfolios I have helped build started in places far away from where they where they live.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: Why?
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: Because we look at states with lower land tax, areas with stronger yields, suburbs with lower entry prices and better upside.
- 3:00SPEAKER_01: Markets at the right stage of the cycle.
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: These are the most important things you need to look at before you get into an investment property.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: Smart investors understand this.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: You can't let emotion or convenience override performance.
- 3:19SPEAKER_01: You can always come back to your home turf later.
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: Trust me, I have done that too.
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: Once your portfolio has momentum, that's when you do it.
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: But to get started to grow, you need to go where the data points points you, not where your driveway leads.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: Okay, so remember my previous episodes I talked to you about data, important research, important, and also understand the performances of the market, that is also very important.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: And most importantly, the experience you gather by investing in different types of properties in different areas, that is also very important.
