Hey there, it's Alex Coffman, host of The Real enTREpreneur™ Podcast! In this episode, I'm getting real about the biggest mistakes I made in my early real estate investing days. Trust me, there were a few. I dive into the lessons I’ve learned about the importance of thinking big and why focusing on larger deals can make all the difference in achieving long-term success.

I share my journey from smaller investments—like houses, duplexes, and quadplexes—that seemed like good deals at the time but didn’t contribute much to my overall goals. These smaller properties often came with high management costs, poor cash flow, and less favorable debt terms, making them harder to manage and less profitable in the long run.

I talk about how these experiences taught me to prioritize bigger deals that offer better cash flow, appreciation, and scalability. I also emphasize the importance of having patience, discipline, and a clear strategy. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of closing deals, but without thorough analysis, you might find yourself in a tough spot later.

Reflecting on the success of recent large-scale deals, I highlight how these investments have significantly outperformed the smaller deals I made over the past six years. From setting up the right team to taking advantage of tax benefits, larger deals have proven to be game-changers.
