Plus, apply for loans directly through the app and get help choosing the right investment strategy. Transform your real estate investing today! Click HERE to download the Backflip app.  In this episode, I walk you through the entire lifecycle of a real estate investment, breaking down each crucial phase so you can make smarter decisions along the way. We start with acquisition, the hands-on stage where you set your goals, find the right property, and build a reliable team to support you. Next, we tackle the often-overlooked stabilization phase, where the key to long-term success lies in setting up tenants, streamlining operations, and transitioning your investment to a more passive state. Lastly, we dive into the exit strategy, explaining how I assess my property portfolio each year to decide whether to hold or sell properties based on performance and market conditions. Whether you’re a first-time investor or looking to grow your portfolio, this episode is packed with practical tips to guide your investment decisions and maximize returns. KEY POINTS: - Phase 1: Acquisition - Determine your market, have a rental strategy, and create your team - Phase 2: Stabilization - Choose tenants, set up property management, and create systems for business - Phase 3: Exit Strategy - Factors to consider: increased expenses, difficulty finding tenants, and low cash flow QUOTES: “Don't just go out there and start buying property. You need to have a strategy — some goals that you are working towards.” – Erika Brown “One indication that you truly have stabilized your property is that you don't have to be actively involved on a day-to-day basis. That is an example that things are stable.”  – Erika Brown RESOURCES:  [BACKFLIP] Struggling with property data and financing?
