Maybe you’re new to this real estate investment thing. You’ve heard about a “buy and hold” strategy, and you’re wondering… how long do you really have to hold a property? Many of our investors are in it for the long haul, but even buy-and-hold investors know the value of a good exit strategy.

We often caution new investors that real estate investment won’t make them rich overnight. It’s a process that takes time, intention, and slow growth. We say this primarily so expectations are managed – the better your perception of the reality of this business, the better you’ll fare.

The tension between uncertainty and trust is one of the most impactful factors in the real estate investor’s life. We’re in a constant battle between the anxieties of the unknown, the management of risk, and the faith in the system that has built lasting wealth for so many before us.

If we're honest, investing in anything can come with its fair share of anxieties. We all want to find success in our financial endeavors, particularly when they take so much of our time and resources. For many of us, our idea of investing in real estate comes from glamorized HGTV productions about property flipping—a type of investing that demands not only agility in the right neighborhoods and markets, but key timing.

Investing in real estate comes with many questions and uncertainties. When we look at the state of the real estate market, the economy at large, and the political landscape, it can all feel that much more volatile. So why aren't we worried?
