Agents Don’t Have to Try That Hard to Start Investing…Here’s Why w/Terri Hoffort

Many agents believe it’s too hard to start investing, but the truth is, the proximity we have to real estate makes us more likely to stumble into it without really even trying. We’re surrounded by real estate deals. Properties that meet our criteria are right under our noses, and in the process of making our clients wealthy, we can do the same for ourselves. As busy agents, how do we add an investing component to what we’re doing? How do we prepare to invest before we even find the right deal? In this episode, Broker Associate and agent-investor, Terri Hoffort shares how she started investing, why this is a great market to start and dealing with some of the hesitations she had beforehand.  "We’re taught to buy a house, pay it off, and get out of debt, but that equity sitting there isn’t working for you.
