In this episode, Jonathan Farber interviews Tony Robinson on his path from buying his first property barely more than a year ago to hosting the BiggerPockets Rookie Podcast and building a growing rental portfolio with 10 deals either done or under contract. Tony is an out of state short and normal term rental investor based in Southern California. In this episode, we break down topics like: getting your first deal done first, executing out of state, value add deals, keeping a full time job into real estate, and more!


Top Takeaways:


Why your first deal is worth the effort - 7:45 - 8:45

Although the first deal can sometimes be overlooked, it’s a crucial step to a successful career

Not taking the first step has killed countless dreams before they got off the ground

Frame your early goals around finishing your first deal, not necessarily scaling immediately

Adding value to a property from across the country - 12:00 - 14:00

If you have the right mindset about the deal and the right team to execute, you can make it work

Think about how much you personally would get out of being able to walk through the property

Make sure you find the right people: an agent, a general contractor, an inspector you can trust

Balancing a full time job with an expanding real estate portfolio - 19:45 - 21:00

There’s no magic solution to making everything fit nicely

Don’t worry about creating balance inside every individual day - take a longer time scale

Intentionally balancing time across a week or even a month keeps you focused longer
