In this episode, Jonathan Farber interviews Sean Parsons on his path from finding BiggerPockets and this podcast to making his first acquisition. Sean is an out of state turnkey investor balancing a W2 from Seattle, Washington. In this episode, we walk through topics like: how to get yourself through your first deal, the benefits of a first turnkey deal, turnkey provider operations, and more!


Top Takeaways:


Why you haven’t done your first deal and how to change that - 13:45 - 15:00

A down payment is a lot of money - remind yourself that you’re making a researched investment

Real estate is risky - a smart strategy can weather the storm and come back stronger

Accountability groups and self talk can keep you grounded and approaching your goals

You should still do a turnkey deal the first time around - 15:15 - 17:00

Turnkey is not a big earner, but it’s still immensely valuable for teaching you the process

One of the biggest assets turnkey provides is a prebuilt team for you to learn from

Think of this deal as your training wheels to make the biggest leap possible on the next one

Understanding the role of a turnkey provider - 24:15 - 27:30

The basic model is to find off market property, add market value, install a manager, and sell

This creates a very attractive product for inexperienced investors because it’s a complete package

The downside is that the returns trend smaller because the provider is doing more work
