I want to talk about something that doesn't get covered enough in the "here's how you invest remotely" conversations. What you do when your contractor goes sideways. Mine did. And I caught it the way most remote investors catch it, which is through a property manager doing a video walkthrough. Twenty minutes of footage that made it very clear the work that was supposed to be done was not done, and the contractor who was supposed to be doing it had been lying to me about the timeline for weeks. I fired him. Mid-rehab. Here's what I want you to know about that moment: it was terrifying. I had a property that was partially torn apart. I had a funding clock running. I had another deal in process at the same time. The last thing I needed was to restart from scratch on the people side. But keeping a lying contractor is worse than firing one. Every day you leave them in place, they're taking your money and burning your timeline. The discomfort of firing and replacing is temporary. The damage of not firing is compounding. What I did: I called my PM. She had a backup contractor in her network. I had someone new on the property within a week. The rehab got finished. The deal closed. Your property manager is not just rent collection. They're your eyes, your problem detector, and your backup contact for every vendor you have on site. If yours can't do that, you need a different property manager. Has anyone here had a contractor situation go sideways? What did you do? Drop it below.

For those of you who we're able to join me for today's JV operator model training. Here is the handout I brought up during the training for your reference. And if for any reason you can't download it, here is the link to the document in Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sW8Kr07u6CT9bcO-9l8wO1mGOYkYj9ul/view?usp=sharing The replay should be up by tomorrow. 😀

Your First Deal Live Training is Tomorrow! Here's what's in store... You have done the work to find a deal. You have analyzed it. Now the question is who is going to help you close it. Tomorrow's training is all about building the team you actually need to buy 2–4 unit properties remotely. Your broker. Your agent. Your inspector. Your property manager. Your contractor. Who does what. How to find the right ones. How to vet them fast when you have no relationship and no local connections. Because the wrong team costs you money. The right team makes your whole process smoother than anything you can do alone. Tomorrow, Thursday. 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern. Zoom (Link in calendar) Drop a 🏠 below and tell me the one team member you feel the least confident finding right now. I'll make sure we hit that on the call.

🔥🔥🔥 So excited to be here! I’ve been wholesaling SF for about 3 years now. I’m in the Phoenix Az, and Dallas TX Markets. I’m located in Sacramento California. Looking forward to learning and networking. I’ve been a little intimidated with multifamily and the idea of actually buying properties, so really appreciate the opportunity to be in this community and grow financial wealth for my grandchildren.

Hi everyone, my name is Donna and I’m based out of Huntington Beach, California. What brings me into the real estate space is a strong drive to learn, grow, and scale my portfolio through multi-family units. My ultimate goal is to build sustainable wealth that allows me to gradually transition out of the corporate 9-to-5 grind. When I’m not analyzing properties or studying the market, you can usually find me listening to my all-time favorite musician, Prince!
