368: $3,500 per Month From One BRRRR Deal With Palak Shah
On today’s show: accelerated wealth-building through leverage and systems!
Palak Shah walks us through how she built a $4M portfolio in just three years by "supercharging" the BRRRR strategy.
Palak left a career in corporate America to focus full-time on real estate in the Philadelphia area, and she applied her training as an engineer to create airtight processes that help her business run without her.
You’ll love hearing how she finds deals from wholesalers on Facebook, why she’s not afraid to sell off some of her BRRRR properties, and how she creates checklists to determine whether a deal fits her criteria.
Also, we discuss how to beat “analysis paralysis” by remembering her acronym “A.B.L.E.”
Palak is a relatable, inspiring investor who offers great tips for anyone hoping to transition away from a 9-to-5… so check out this episode today, and share it with a friend or family member!
