| 0:00.0 | If you're thinking about getting into real estate, you've probably asked yourself, where do I even start? |
| 0:05.7 | There's so many strategies, house hacking, flipping, a burr, short-term rentals. |
| 0:11.0 | That's honestly a little overwhelming for most rookies. |
| 0:14.1 | But what if we told you there's a simple framework that can help you pick the right investment strategy today without second-guessing yourself? |
| 0:19.9 | In this episode, |
| 0:27.4 | we're giving you the step-by-step formula to figure out which strategy is right for you. By the end, you'll have the clarity and confidence to take action and start investing. Look, we see it all the time. |
| 0:33.0 | New investors jump into real estate without a clear plan and they either burn out or they get stuck in |
| 0:37.7 | analysis paralysis. But not today. We're going to break it down so you can avoid the common |
| 0:42.5 | mistakes rookies make. I'm Ashley Care. And I'm Tony J. Robinson and welcome to the |
| 0:53.0 | Real Estate Rookie Podcast. So there's no |
