Do not get emotionally attached to any property.
Always have a backup plan.

Episode 164: Single Family Versus Commercial Real Estate
Host: Simon Castillo
Join our host Simon Castillo for a one on one Friday Look Back episode as he reflects on:
Single family vs commercial real estate, both provide you with traditional advantages in real estate investing in terms of cash flow, equity appreciation, and leverage depth, which can be risky if not structured properly.
Commercial Real Estate investing can be more scaleable and simple than single-family homes.
On Single property, you have the opportunity to learn by simply acquiring one property, get control of it, and make local investments.
If you are looking to build generational wealth, I think both syndication and commercial real estate and single family properties can do it for you but there's more risk involved.

Episode 163: Friday Look Back - Should You Buy a Rental Property
Host: Simon Castillo
Join our host Simon Castillo for a one on one Friday Look Back episode as he reflects on:
When is the good time to buy a rental property?
No matter what field you're in, real estate and its passive income capability and tax advantages are absolutely unmatched.
Real estate is getting more valuable over time.
Finding a property that's priced correctly, can massively accelerate your wealth.
There are an unlimited amount of ways to educate yourself.
Right now, real estate is a really tough market to get into.
In today's economic environment, it's still relatively easy to borrow money even with higher interest rates.
Competing in a large pool of buyers is another risk factor that you have to be aware of.

Business advice that's out their on the internet that are just wrong.
Thinking with your heart and not with your brain, your setting yourself up for failure
Think with your brain and use logic
Study the market for what it is
Creating a business solely because of passion and it doesn't pencil out, it will make you go crazy.
Make sure you understand the market and the demand
Keep reality and perspective in play.
You don't have to work longer to be ahead, you have to work harder
Customers are not always right
Focus on the type of people who needs your type of service
Start small, Gain some momentum, change your neighborhood before ypu try to change the world.
