Summary
I’ve unfortunately committed every single one of these…
The bad deal I knew was bad, but bought anyway. The strategy I abandoned three months in because something shinier came along. The numbers I cooked because I didn't want my mentor to tell me I was wrong.
In this episode, Cam Cathcart and I go through the 7 Deadly Sins of Real Estate Investing. These are the mistakes that kill portfolios, waste years, and keep people broke even when the market is working in their favor.
Sin 1: Lusting after shiny strategies
Sin 2: Gluttony for education
Sin 3: Greed for impossible returns
Sin 4: Sloth in deal flow
Sin 5: Wrath towards the market
Sin 6: Envy of other investors
Sin 7: Pride in your bad math
