The Answer to Almost Every Real Estate Question
What’s the answer to nearly every real estate investment question?
The same answer your grandpa gave when asked if he wears boxers or briefs:
“Depends.”
Should you buy this house or that one?
Flip it or rent it?
Long-term or short-term?
Urban or suburban?
Leverage or cash?
Yep. It depends.
Real estate is gloriously messy—hyper-local and full of quirks. Every property has its own personality, like your cousin who only eats food that starts with "P."
But don’t despair. There is a way forward.
The secret is in the follow-up question:
👉 “Depends on what?”
That’s where the magic happens. Each time you ask “depends on what?” you strip away another layer of the decision onion. Keep going until the answer is no longer “it depends.” That’s when you’ve hit the core truth—the actual issue driving the decision.
And that, my friend, is where wisdom lives.
Learning to ask the right questions takes time. You won’t be brilliant at it on Day One. But keep digging, and your analysis will sharpen, your decisions will get faster, and your results will improve.
In real estate, curiosity isn’t just a virtue—
it’s a superpower.
The smartphone story isn’t over yet…
Uber did it to taxis, Airbnb to hotels, & now Mode is doing it to the $500B smartphone industry.
They’ve turned smartphones from an expense into an income stream - don’t miss your chance to invest.
