Shut Out the Noise, Take Action & Plug Away: An Investor’s Message to Hesitant Agents On the Sidelines w/Brad Van De Walle
Agent Investor Podcast - A podcast by Tom Cafarella - Real Estate Investor & Coach - Joi
Investing in real estate isn’t rocket science. It doesn’t require a perfect plan or a ton of overanalyzing, and by doing just the bare minimum, investing in a single property, you can set yourself up for retirement. All real estate agents should be investing, especially now, but most are still sitting on the sidelines. What’s holding them back? If you’re listening to the negative “woe is me, no matter what” agents in the industry, it will never be the right time to invest, and you’ll never take action. Why is the skill set an agent brings to the table so in demand right now? In this episode, I’m joined by broker, investor and coach, Brad Van De Walle. He shares his journey into investing, and how he turned one property into the foundation of a massive investing empire.
