About this episode

Jamie Dietz discusses the importance of monthly cash flow in real estate investing and shares his investment strategy.

When Jamie Dietz started investing in real estate, he focused on building and selling properties and believed he could make money by timing the market. He was chasing big profits, but he was not paying enough attention to monthly cash flow. That approach eventually caused him to lose several properties. That experience taught Jamie that appreciation can be unpredictable, but cash flow is what helps an investor survive over the long term. He changed his strategy and began buying rental properties that produce dependable income every month. On this episode, Jamie explains why cash flow now drives every investment decision he makes. He breaks down one of his rental deals, including how he found it, how he financed it, what he spent on renovations, the rent, mortgage payment, repair budget, and monthly cash flow. Jamie also talks about transitioning from self management to professional property management, why he prefers simple properties that make solid long term investments, and why buying a cheap property does not always mean you are getting a good cash flowing deal. https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode582 Thanks To Our Sponsors: Rentec Direct - Automate the day-to-day work and…
