We are turtles because we believe slow and steady wins the race. We’re not flippers, though some people do okay with that strategy. Our two decades of experience in all sorts of real estate climates has shown us many things. One of those things is that flippers have spending money. Long term investors have true wealth.
Spending money is nice but true wealth is better.
As turtles, we focus on acquiring income properties that make financial sense the day we buy them. Then we hold onto them for a long time. This has worked in the past and will very likely continue to work into the future. Your chances of reaching financial independence are much better than flinging money at the bouncing Silly Putty ball that is the stock market.
A slow and steady plan of property investing allows the high rate of inflation to work for you. As each passing year erodes the value of the dollar more and more, your prudent long-term debt strategy insures that the price you paid to purchase each property will actually be much less by the time it is paid off in lower value future dollars.
Plus you have tenants paying monthly rent that should cover your mortgage payment and then some. This slow, steady turtle pace toward real estate investing is a solid path that anyone can follow to create wealth.
