- What is your end goal?
- Why do you want to invest?
- How many investment properties do you need to get you to your destination?
- What’s your plan for getting there?
When it comes to investing in anything, it helps to start with the end in mind. When you know your end goals and can work backward, it allows you to create a step-by-step plan that will get you there faster. Once you know where you’re going, you can make sure there’s a proper plan in place and see if investing in rental property is the fit for you and your ideal end result.
Start With Your “Why”
It’s important to know your “why” when you do anything, especially investing in real estate. The chatbox conversation was overflowing in today’s call as our audience chimed in to share their “whys,” which tended to focus on having enough money to retire comfortably and have the freedom to spend on the things we care about most.
We can absolutely relate.
My personal “why” is to increase my free time to spend with my beautiful family. Pablo shared his own “why,” saying that he and his wife want the freedom to work in a career they love and never have to stay in an unfulfilling job just to make ends meet.
Knowing your “why” will keep you aligned and allow you to find a buying plan that is right for you and your expectations. With the right roadmap, you can map out the income you need for monthly cash flow. For example, if you only have one rental property, you’re not going to have a consistent portfolio, but as soon as you get a few properties under your belt, the cash starts to flow in.
If you plan to invest in multiple rental properties for the long term, and you own them for an entire real estate cycle (about 10 to 20 years) you’re going to see a consistent, income-producing portfolio. While we love working with clients who can only purchase one property, we strive to create happy investors who build consistent cash flow with multiple properties.

Having the Right Buying Plan is Crucial When Investing in Turnkey Properties
You Need The Right Buying Plan
In episode #97 of Not Your Average Investor Show, Pablo and I share an incredibly helpful spreadsheet that allows investors and potential investors (like you!)to create a buying plan which will help them figure out how to meet their end goals. This buying plan spreadsheet is what the JWB team shares with clients to discuss their “why” and their money goals to solve the investing puzzle.
In today’s show, we filled out the spreadsheet to show what Mr. or Mrs. ‘Not Your Average Investor’ can do if they invested $150,000 in the first year and added $50,000 every year to purchase more properties that will grow your portfolio.
The numbers shown were conservative yet the results still showed a clear path toward finding financial freedom by investing with JWB. Watch the video above to see what I’m talking about!
