Today, we’re talking about the real estate deals we did in 2024. What went right, what went wrong, and what mistakes did we make that you must avoid in 2025? This year was wild for the real estate market—you probably felt it, too. Whether you were buying rentals, flipping houses, or just getting started, this year felt hot, cold, and lukewarm all at the same time. So, how did we end the year? Did we hit our 2024 goals, or was this wild housing market just too much for us?
We’re sharing exactly what our 2024 goals were, whether we hit them, and what we’re planning for in 2025. We decided to give up one real estate investing strategy that wasn’t worth it anymore; we made some BIG mistakes by choosing the wrong agent, hiring the wrong people, and forgetting to systematize some properties. But we also made some solid moves that saved us when some of our deals began to fall apart.
Don’t repeat the same mistakes we made—learn from them instead! Tune in, write these lessons down, and build a better real estate portfolio in 2025!
