Interested in rental property investment?

The Southwest Florida Real Estate Investment Association (SWFL REIA) was created with the motto “Knowledge withheld is knowledge wasted.” It is a membership-based organization that hopes to impart current real estate knowledge on its members, including anyone interested in the Florida rental property investment world, as well as those working in the industry, such as contractors, attorneys, home inspectors, realtors, wholesalers, and more.

SWFL REIA sole purpose is to help its members become more profitable through the use of networking, education, and empowerment. They take a different approach by not having information product sales and instead focus their meetings on investing through collaboration and by having Cape Coral rental property investment and Fort Myers rental property investment members share their own personal experiences.

SWFL REIA wants to help people interested in Florida rental property investment know the first steps they should take to become more successful. Aside from general meetings, SWFL REIA hosts monthly luncheons open to everyone, though members only have to pay for the cost of their lunch.

Buy and hold real estate investing

Buy and hold real estate investing is the primary avenue of the wealthiest members of the SWFLREIA.

John Jacob Astor, the famous real property capitalist, and America’s first multi-millionaire, while he was on his deathbed if he would do things differently if he could start over.

Astor responded, “Yes. I would have bought every inch of Manhattan.

Buy and hold real estate investing is how wealth is generated in the main.

While we all hear the stories of how some random event enabled a person to become wealthy. This is not the norm. We tend to have a survivorship bias that clouds our minds in cases like this. For every guy who hit it big randomly, many did not. The road to wealth is a long road. It also can be done long term with nearly the issues of say flipping real estate.

The one tip to Buy and hold real estate investing that I will share is that many buy and hold real estate investors tend to forget that they will own this asset long term and that someday you may want to sell it. Patch job repairs make the most sense for today. They do not make the most sense long term. I also see many Buy and hold real estate investors that make decisions for repairs and upgrades that the view of the tenant is factored into. Focus solely on the asset and the asset will reward you while you own it and if you sell it.
