Ep 341 - 6 Investor Success Principles

Hey, everybody. Flip and Danny here, founders of the Freedom Real Estate Group family of companies. And welcome to another episode of our.

Podcast which is called Freedom through Passive Income.

That's right. And welcome to another episode and this episode is called Six Investor Success.

You know, when you asked me the title of the podcast, I almost said that because you kept practicing six investors success principles. So you said. And the name of the podcast is. I wanted to go six Investor Success.

No, that's the episode.

So he was saying, can you get any more S's in there?

Yeah, I had to work on that one.

So this is yesterday. We were talking about the seven investor mistakes. And so we wanted to follow that up with the good things. So learn from the mistakes and then learn from what goes well, what heights net worth investors are doing and is performing for them. Whenever you surround yourself with people, you want to do both. What did you do wrong? What did you do right? And you take both of them and you learn and you grow so that you don't have to make the same mistakes or take the time to learn what is successful. So I am going to start because I'm odds right in your emails. All right. Okay. So number one, high net worth investors successful principles from high net worth investors. Number one, they invest in what they know and if they don't know something, they rely on someone who does know. So I'm going to not say one of the things that I wanted to say when I read that, because there's an episode that we did that I think applies to something else on here. Let me just look just to be sure. No, it doesn't. Okay. So we did multiple podcast episodes, but one in particular about being very comfortable with what you're doing. So we said you don't need to know it all, you need to trust the team who knows it. All. Right? We want to be that team for you when it comes to real estate investing because we know real estate and we want you to be able to learn from us and we want to give you the knowledge and answer your questions when it comes to that. But you have to, number one, trust that team. So we need to earn your trust. If you don't trust us, don't invest with us. That's rule number one. Find a team you trust. Rule number two is be comfortable. Don't let anybody push you into an investment that you're not ready for. And if for some reason you don't like real estate, weird. But if some reason you don't, well, then don't invest in real estate. Find other opportunities that you like and you feel good about. We like real estate because when it comes down to all of the things that we're presented with and we're presented with so many opportunities all the time, this is what feels the most solid, the most predictable, the most reliable. And that's what we want for ourselves. If we want that for ourselves, that's what we want to do for our investors. We don't want to offer our investors something that we would not personally invest in. So you don't have to know it all. You have to know a team that. That knows it, and you have to trust them, and you have to be comfortable with the vehicle that they are providing. And for us, that happens to be real estate.

Yeah. I just thought about investing in crypto, and ever since we invested in crypto, all I want to do is just get my money back. I don't want to make money in crypto. I just want to get back to. Get back to even.

I'm not going to let you just because I think there's a future in crypto that we said we were going leave that money alone.

Yep. I'm not touching it.

It was either going to burn or.

Someday it's going to go, yeah, yeah, it's burning.

I'm waiting for, like, 10 years from now when it might actually go up.

All right, so here's number two. They invest in the boring. Talk about boring. They prefer assets with a history of predictability and performance. These assets may not generate a buzz like the newest investment kids on the block, but they have proven their worth over time.

That's perfect. When you just talk about crypto. Crypto is the new kid on the block. Right. And has been for a while. A lot of people with a lot of disposable have tested it out, just like us. You know, we just said, here, here's the money we're comfortable with. We're going to go ahead and put it in there. We're going to leave it alone. And like Flip has described many times, we've lost our butt on it, but we're still going to leave it alone. And it might come back, it might not. Whatever. We chose something that was kind of high risk, knowing that we were just putting that money to sit and waste. We didn't need it. So boring is another episode. I think it's in the title. If I googled the title on our podcast, I think I'd find it. But we talk about boring long term. Those are the best investments. So go back to that episode. Find that episode and listen to it. Because there's a lot of tips that we don't have time to share in this one that will explain to you why boring and long term is really, really advantageous to you as an investor and your success going forward. And that's why successful high net worth investors have it on their list of success principles. Number three, they invest long term and seek illiquidity to shield their investments from broader market volatility. And the illiquid piece of this is what I was getting to, coupled with the boring part, so that I think it might be the same, it might not be. So, A.J. when you're editing this, if you can find the episode we did about boring, find the episode we did where we were talking about liquidity and liquidity not always being a good thing. And if you need help with those, let me know. Put the links so that people who are listening or watching or could view the description, they can find those links and go back to them. Because we don't have time in this episode to talk about this. But there's a reason why successful high net worth investors are saying boring investments and illiquid investments because having access to your money is not a good thing all the time. You want to have access to the things that you need as an emergency savings, but you don't want to have access to things that are supposed to be building long term wealth. And we go into great detail in the episode when we're talking about illiquid investments. All right, your turn. We're on.

There we go. We should put four.

Yeah, I should have. Sorry.

They invest in resilient assets in the face of inflation and recession.

That's right. So we're in that environment right now. So. Right. You want to look and see what has been proven in the past in similar environments. And so we know multifamily has proven in history of even more volatile environments than we are in right now. And that's why we're so strong in the multifamily market in working with those types of investments that will be our primary asset class going forward. There's some other pillars to our future and vision of freedom capital investments and what we want to invest in for the reasons of the market that we're in. But multifamily is first and foremost. So I think that that's what hits home about that point. And then number five, I believe is they're interested in compounding wealth. Instead of hitting the jackpot, they seek consistency and reliability over the one off home runs. And that is 100% goes back. The boring, the illiquid. And the fact that we're putting in some compounding return options for our investors is because we too believe in this. We want something that is strong and consistent, dependable, reliable. That is what we want for us so that we can sleep at night, feel safe about where our money is, how it's growing, what the future looks like based on its growth and the preservation of capital and getting that back to us. We're not out there. We don't put a lot of our money into crypto. Right. That's the shot at glory that we put very little in. We're not looking for, like, a jackpot, but we might have fun playing with it, but it's very little compared to the amount of wealth that we put into the more stable asset classes. And that is another success principle.

Yeah, I think the fund's worn off on those. And number six is they seek significant tax benefits. Saving a penny is just as valuable as adding another penny to the COVID That's right.

A dollar earned, dollar saved, it's all the same. Right. So if you save $15,000 in taxes, that's $15,000 in your pocket. Right. So it doesn't matter. Tax benefits. People don't really understand the tangibility of. Oh, so I get that tax deduction. Well, I don't really understand. It's money in your pocket. That's what we were trying to get you to understand. For those of you who are still kind of lost, going to. We're creating a course here in 2023 where we're really going to dive into that. And again, we try to do. Everything that we do is simple, simple, simple. We don't want to be the CPA and the financial planner or whatever. That's going to throw so much information at you that you're just more confused than when you started. In the absolute simplest way, we're going to try and provide examples that really show you the benefits of what an investment does via the tax savings. So that next time you see, hey, you get up to 50% depreciation on this, you're gonna go, whoa, that's awesome. That's money in my pocket. And you're gonna get it because of the way that we're going to try and help and teach you. But tax benefits are absolutely one of the biggest success principles that people probably don't understand. And we're gonna do the best job that we can in trying to educate more people about that.
