What would you do if the condo you purchased for $150,000 was suddenly worth $100,000 and you had to move for work? My guest today, Derek Clifford, and his wife found themselves in this unenviable situation. Instead of selling their condo at a loss, they decided to turn it into a rental. This investment property provided very little cash-flow over the following years, but they eventually sold it about 8 years later for a $120,000 profit! They took this money, used a 1031 exchange, and purchased a handful of SF homes in the Midwest that cash-flowed extremely well! Derek has since transitioned into MF investing and has truly figured out how to build systems and processes to allow him and his wife to continue building their portfolio while they both work full-time.
