Smart Rental Property Investing, Getting Your License, and Investing For Retirement | BP Podcast 080

http://biggerpockets.com/show80 Today on the BiggerPockets Podcast we are excited to sit down with a Jonna Weber, a buy-and-hold investor and real estate agent out of the Boise, ID area. Jonna is a great example of how anybody can and should invest in real estate! In our conversation, we cover a lot of ground on how to use real estate for retirement and why real estate is a better avenue than the stock market. We also cover why an investor might want to become a real estate agent, how to find investor-friendly agents, what to look for when purchasing an investment property and much much more!

1. I have learned over the years. Once you find a really really good investor friendly agent treat them like gold. The reward will be platinum.
2. As an agent an investor-friendly agent SHOULD feel responsible for the providing of properties. When an agent provides good investment properties then the investor can trust and continue to work with as well as refer other investors to the agent. Win-Win! Wow big difference between the successful and unsuccessful. Get educated.
3. The comment about "doubling down" until you win is pretty ironic. It displays an inefficient understanding of risk vs reward and using it will lead to you eventually losing all of your invested money before you "hit it big" with small winners
4. went to san fran to work (down town)and thought it was one of the cleanest cities ive been in.  waaaaay cleaner than portland oregon.
5. I'm going to San Francisco next week.  I WAS looking forward to it.
