What New Investors Always Get Wrong (But Won’t Admit)
Real estate investing can be a goldmine or a landmine — and it all starts with your mindset.

We dive into the biggest mistakes new investors make — and rarely admit — including ignoring real math, relying on hype, and skipping essential reserve planning. Kevin shares his philosophy on long-term investing, avoiding emotional traps, and why having the right team makes investing out of state not just possible, but smart. Whether you’re a first-timer or trying to level up your game, this episode is packed with high-traffic real estate investing insights: from understanding cash-on-cash return to building a proper “Oh Beep” fund to protect your rental portfolio when tenants vanish or properties go sideways.
