Summary
In my second real estate venture, my husband and I almost lost $44,000. After buying my first condo, I was very interested in real estate and I was excited to reap the same benefits with my partner.
This experience was vastly different, and we came extremely close to walking away and losing our 10% down payment. In this week's episode, I share the lessons I learned when buying a property did not go as planned and how you can avoid the same mistakes.
In this episode you'll learn:
- How my husband and I almost lost $44,000
- Why this real estate investment almost fell through
- The lessons I learned from this experience
- What BATNA is
- The importance of sunk cost and having a strategy plus much more…
