When His Rentals Weren't Working, He Had To Pivot With Seamus Nally (Ep 563)
About this episode
Seamus Nally discusses the importance of pivoting in real estate investing when initial plans do not work out.
On this episode, Seamus Nally shares a powerful lesson every investor eventually faces: if it’s not working, pivot. Seamus originally set out to build a portfolio of student rentals. The plan made sense. The numbers worked. The demand was there. Then the university expanded its own housing and the student demand he was counting on dried up. Instead of digging in and hoping things would turn around, Seamus made a bold move. He pivoted and began renting rooms to residents in an addiction recovery program. When new challenges surfaced with that strategy, he adjusted again, eventually transitioning the property into a traditional long term rental. By then, market rents had risen and the deal that once struggled was suddenly producing strong, stable cash flow. We also talk about what it’s like investing alongside family, as Seamus partners with his brothers on their properties. Plus, we get into one of the most overlooked investing advantages: building strong relationships with neighbors. Seamus explains how being proactive and communicative has not only protected their properties, but has also led to off-market deals and neighbors acting as extra eyes and ears…
