He had money in the stock market but was never comfortable counting on it being there when he needed it. He had already seen one crash that took out a good chunk of his money and wasn't interested in hoping it wouldn't happen again.
So, he looked into real estate. His first investment was an up-down duplex rental property. When it was fully rented, he would clear about $150/month.
When we met, he expressed his frustration - how am I going to replace $25k/month+ investing in the volatile stock market or owning these small rental properties?
What was Dan looking for? (paraphrasing):
"Shane, I want a safe place to invest my money so one day I no longer have to go into the office. I want to stop trading time for money. I'm tired of relying on my practice to put food on the table".
Dan had a clear plan - replace his $300,000/year income without creating a second job. He was a busy professional who was looking to leverage his high income into passive cash flow.
Here are the 3 Steps we took:
Step 1. Design a clear investing Plan - types of real estate. Location. Returns..
Step 2. Learn the game of Commercial Real Estate. He wanted to know a good deal from a poor one.
Step 3. Find and Finance a property that fit his goals. .
My role was to help educated Dan on the market and how to leverage his affluence to get the right deal.
He didn't have to hustle around investing in rental properties paying a few hundred dollars a month. At that rate, he'd need 100 houses to replace his income.
I showed him that people of his financial status could leverage their wealth and access properties few could.
How to take advantage of his high income instead of competing with the masses on rental houses.
For Dan, Stability and Predictability were most important.
He didn't have the time or expertise to do a heavy value add properties.
Dan wanted to replace his income with a good cash flowing property that could help put his 3 girls through top universities.
