Why Waiting for the “Perfect” Property is Costing You Wealth
Your idea of a “dream home” or “dream investment property” is stopping you from building wealth and taking steps toward financial freedom. Don’t believe us? Today’s guest proves it.
Mitra Kalita lives in her dream home today, but it’s only because she bought a house FAR from what was her dream back in 2002. With her family moving often, she was accustomed to packing up and making somewhere new her home throughout her childhood. So, when it was time to buy her first property, then later move, settle in, move again, and repeat, it was nothing new. This has now led to her dream home, but it only started because she made a move on that first property.
Mitra went through the 2008 housing crash as a journalist, seeing what actual loss looked like for everyday Americans. However, even with memories of the last crash, she still owns real estate and hopes the new generation of first-time homebuyers can do the same. Today, we’re talking with Mitra about the impact 2008 had on the housing market and society at large, why your “dream home” often comes after your first home, and why working while investing is a superpower that most Americans are missing.
In This Episode We Cover
Why you should ditch the “dream” home/property idea and buy now instead
How the 2008 housing crash changed America forever and still affects today’s buyers
Is buying a house still worth it, and if so, will most millennials ever get their chance to buy?
Why combining real estate investing and a strong career can be a wealth-building superpower
And So Much More!
