@simplerealestate: Many of you will buy your first property alone. I did! I was single when I bought my first home in 2015, and I'm not alone! In 2025, 35% of all first time homebuyers in America were single (25% were woman and 10% were men). Now let me tell you! I have found it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to buy properties on my own. From my primary residence to investment properties, it's easier when I'm the only one involved because I get to make all the decisions. I get to decide the risk and how much I want to spend. I get to focus on the parts of the process I like and either delegate or flat out ignore the parts I don't. But the moment I bring partners in?! 🥲 All of a sudden, I have to consider someone else's interests, someone else's risk tolerance, someone else's opinions. It's not just me anymore and that's been really hard for me to navigate in the past. Yes, the money is better. But overall is it worth it? Are partnerships worth the work in this business? My answer in this episode is maybe. MAYBE, if you can learn to compromise. And if you plan to use real estate in your retirement, then you absolutely need this lesson. If you're married, romantically involved or interested in business partnerships, you need to learn to compromise on these projects. 28 days until we open registration for next year's conference! The countdown continues! #simplerealestate
