About this episode

Emeka Ogbonna discusses the importance of saying no to certain real estate deals to avoid overextension and maintain focus as an investor.

Emeka is currently juggling multiple flips here in Lakeland, Florida and feeling the pressure of being capital-strapped, so he is keeping it real about what it looks like when shiny object syndrome starts creeping in. Whether you're on your first flip or your fifth, knowing your limits and protecting your bandwidth is what separates smart investors from overextended ones.
