If you’ve watched this channel in the past, you know I’ve talked about investing in real estate. I wanted to cover that topic today in a bit more detail.

I’m sure you’ve seen books, YouTube videos, and commercials about how you can get rich in real estate. I’ve been investing in real estate since 2003 and it’s been a great investment for me, personally. I’m not going to give you any investment advice, however. You’ll need to seek a financial advisor for that.

There are four legs of real estate:

1. Appreciation. Historically real estate has gone up in price over the long term.

2. Depreciation. Owner’s depreciate the property on their taxes (check with your CPA).

3. Principal Pay Down. The tenants pay of your mortgage.

4. Cash flow. Money left over after debt service and operating expenses.

Many Americans have built their wealth through real estate. If you’re interested in getting involved with real estate investing, I have some great books to share with you that you should check out before you get started.

“The Millionaire Next Door” talks about the millionaires in America and how they’ve built their wealth. I learned in this book that a majority of millionaires in America made a majority of their money in real estate.

If you love numbers and crunching them, check out “What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow… And 36 Other Key Financial Measures.” I’d be happy to talk about you with this book even if you want to skip reading it.

The simplest but most profound book I’ve read about real estate investing is “The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner: A Powerful Plan to Finish Rich in Real Estate” by David Bach. There are a lot of powerful examples in here about building long-term wealth.

If you have any questions for us about real estate investing or real estate in general, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Bonnie - "Jason has a lot of tools he uses and he has good people that work hard for him."

Mike - "Jason furnishes a lot of statistics which real help, I’ve never gotten those kinds of numbers from anyone else and I really appreciated that."

Sue - "The Penrose Team did a good job for me. I got a lot of money for the first house they sold for me. It was much more than all the other Realtors had said I could get for it, which we were very happy about. They just advertise better and have a wide advertising area. They are good team and would do a good job for you, hire them!"

Tracy - "Jason really follows through with his work. He brought me the results I needed and he was definitely a go-getter. He gets the job done faster because of his sales ability and marketing strategy. I would highly recommend working with him!"

Douglas - "Real estate is Jason’s career. He is driven and very professional. He is honest, has integrity, and won’t steer you wrong. When you hire Jason, you’re using a great resource to get the job done."

Brad - "Jason’s method of doing business is incredibly efficient. He follows through on what he says he’s going to do and he always kept in touch. Jason is good at what he does and you’ll be happy working with him."

Brenda - "The Penrose Team was just always there for us and kept us up to date with the whole process. We weren’t actually the ones that purchased the home, my in-laws did but they included us in everything which was awesome. They were just absolutely wonderful and if we ever needed anything, they were there to answer."

Amanda - "We had very positive results when we worked with the Penrose team especially when it came to the negotiations for the contract. We had some things to go over about the roof and Christin really took that at hand and worked with the sellers to make sure that we were getting the best possible outcome. They really took care of us!"

Bill - "They were able to sell our home in pretty difficult circumstances. We had some terrible construction in front of our house, there were a lot of pigeons and their droppings, and the HOA wasn’t keeping up the property as well as they should have. When people were complaining about the droppings, they dispatched someone out to the house to tidy it up and they just kept going until they found a buyer for us. The whole experience was just great all the way around."

John - "They are absolutely phenomenal. I have nothing but positive things to say about the service I received. Nicole, Christin, and Jason were just really exceptional to work with and they all went above and beyond to help us."

Keith - "They always kept me abreast of everything that was transpiring with the transaction, especially once the contract came about. They did a very nice job of representing my position to the seller’s agent."

Brittany - "I was not kept in the loop with my previous real estate transaction so I really appreciated Jason touching base with me when anything changed and making weekly calls to ensure I was kept up to date. My house sold quickly and it was just a really good experience."

Linda -"We had a previous real estate person who had the house for five months. There were no offers or anything. Jason and his team came in, took pictures, put it up on the MLS, and sold the house within a week for the full asking price. The girls in the office were very helpful. The buyer had neglected to mention that he was married, so they had to overnight a form for his wife to sign. They kept me updated throughout, and they were right on top of it the whole time!"

Cathi -"I want to thank Jason and his team for getting us through this transaction and selling our house! The last several months have been crazy, and we finally got the deal done. It would not have happened without Jason and his entire team, particularly Nicole. She has been my partner every step of the way. She's awesome. She was right on top of things and put up with my constant questions, which we really appreciated. At times it didn't feel like this transaction would be successful, and thanks to them it was!"
