Pains and Gains with TJ and Kelly
In this episode, TJ and Kelly tackle the often-overlooked world of insurance for investment properties. Here are the key takeaways:
Understanding Your Policies
Investors need to read their insurance policies thoroughly. Don’t just look for the cheapest plan. Sometimes, insurance agents remove essential coverage to offer competitive prices, which can result in significant losses later on.
Coverage Types
- Occupied vs. Vacant: There’s a big difference between policies for occupied and vacant properties. Know which one you need.
- Builder’s Risk: If you’re renovating, you may need a builder’s risk policy.
- Contractor Insurance: Ensure your contractors are insured to protect yourself from liability.
Real-life Stories
TJ and Kelly shared some painful anecdotes of investors who lost money due to inadequate coverage. One investor lost $60,000 because he forgot to insure a property. Another thought he had coverage but wasn’t covered for specific damages like pipes bursting or vandalism.
Key Tip
The most crucial advice from this episode? Build a relationship with a trustworthy insurance agent who will cover your assets adequately. Don’t skimp on insurance; it could cost you dearly.
This segment is all about leveraging social media for your real estate business. Here’s what you need to know:
Post Engagement
- Delete Zero-Engagement Posts: If a post gets zero engagement, delete it and try again later. Social media algorithms favor posts with immediate engagement.
- Native vs. Third-Party Tools: Avoid third-party scheduling tools like Hootsuite. They hurt engagement rates. Instead, post natively on each platform.
- Facebook: Schedule posts directly on business pages.
- Instagram: Engage with your audience in real-time.

Follow your competitors to see what’s working for them and adapt those strategies for your business.

Networking Tips

Investing in Behavioral Health Facilities with Pace Morby

Maximizing Profits
Properties can be rented out per room, with each room bringing in substantial income. This method can transform a modest rental property into a high-income investment.
Commercial Cash Flow: Market Outlook
This episode highlights why multifamily investments are currently a hot ticket.
Millennials Renting More
Millennials are entering the workforce but are less likely to buy homes, preferring to rent instead. This trend makes multifamily properties an attractive investment.
Targeting Class B/C Properties
Class B and C properties offer higher returns and are often more affordable to acquire. These types of properties are in high demand and are likely to provide steady cash flow.
