DON’T Invest in Property Without These Four Foundational Levers…
The process of building wealth is like operating a bulldozer…
What do we mean by that?
Well, a bulldozer comes with a few levers that you’ll need to push and pull to make sure that it’s doing what it’s meant to do. Likewise, when it comes to building your property portfolio, there are “Four Foundational Levers” that you’ll need to adjust to achieve your own specific and unique end goal.
And the faster you can adjust each of these levers, the quicker you’ll get to your goal.
To put this into perspective… Let’s say you’re building a house. First, you’d start with the number of rooms you need (the floor plan), then you’d focus on the size (the measurements), then the engineering (how it’s going to be built) and, finally, what it’s going to be built from (building materials). Without these things you can’t build the house as you planned to build it, right? Not to mention, if you changed just one of these things you automatically affect the other three.
And, yes, the same applies when you’re building wealth. You need ALL four levers and if you adjust one you impact ALL the rest….
So. What are the Four Levers when it comes to building wealth? And why are these so important for a property investor?!
