Pillars Of Wealth Creation

Ryan is a longtime real estate investor who had been named the "Real Estate Rookie of the Year" and "Best In State" in Utah by the time that he was 22. After becoming an investor, he soon found that it was difficult to obtain funding for his investments quickly, let alone from reputable lenders. With that in mind, he founded Do Hard Money, a hard money company that offers reliable funding to investors via peer to peer lending. Ryan talks to us about building a team, creating a value exchange that gives as much or more than you get, failing fast, making small changes and so much more. 3 golden Nuggets: Find opportunities Fund - get the money Flip - Execute the plan Book mentioned: Atlas Shrugged by Ann Rand Connect with Ryan Wright at www.dohardmoney.com Connect with Pillars Of Wealth Creation on Facebook: www.facebook.com/PillarsofWealthCreation/ Subscribe to our email list at www.pillarsofwealthcreation.com Subscribe to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCkg8HggkdPAuBaAQySJSEQQ

In this episode, Todd Dexheimer and John Stiles discuss the danger of focusing on acquiring a large number of rental units. It sounds great if you own a bunch of units, but that actually doesn't tell the whole story. What percent ownership do you actually have. How much equity is there in the properties? How much cash are the properties producing and how does this all reflect in your personal balance sheet? It's exciting when people are able to achieve investment goals and we all want to celebrate with you. However, if you're not the one achieving those goals, don't get sucked into comparing yourself to others who are posting their success social media. You might not be seeing the whole picture. Instead, focus on where you are now and how you can take steps to improve. Maybe that will mean purchasing hundreds and thousands of apartment units, or maybe your success will be evidenced with other numbers.
