Episode #1262
*We’re selling off rental properties.* Nope, that’s not clickbait; we’re actually getting rid of cash-flowing rental properties from our real estate portfolios.
*But why? And why now?*
Is there a market crash we fear is coming? Do we think this is the peak of real estate? Have we finally decided to listen to the social media doomers who keep telling us it’s another 2008? Not quite. Instead, our *reasoning behind selling* might make a lot more sense than you think. In fact, *after you listen to this episode, you might decide to sell some rentals.*
So, *what are we doing with the money?* Are we going to sit on cash, pay off properties, or retire early? Both *Dave* and *Henry* have different reasons for selling, but both agree there’s one thing you should do (at least twice a year) to *see whether you should sell properties* in your portfolio.
Thought you were supposed to “hold forever,” as many of the traditional real estate investors have told you? We have proof that *selling can often make you much wealthier* than holding—here’s how.
