In this week's episode, we are joined by real estate investor and property manager Christian Phillips. After leaving the Navy, Christian sold real estate full time and currently owns a real estate brokerage. Christian gives out this advice to other military veterans -- your home is not an investment but a liability and money spent on mortgage payments is better off making investments instead. If you are looking to buy, sell and rent out your home, or looking for a property to rent or invest in by rehabbing homes or building new construction, let Christian show you the way. In this episode, we explore: Background of the guest Why choose INLET property management Services provided by property management How to deliver quality service to the owners Self manage vs outsource How to value a property management company About Christian: Christian grew up in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York and enlisted in the US Navy straight out of high school. After achieving the rank of E-5 in under three years and being the lowest ranking person ever onboard his ship to become ESWS (enlisted surface warfare specialist) qualified, Christian completed his enlistment of four years and was honorably discharged in 2001. After leaving the navy, Christian worked as an insurance agent for USAA insurance for four years. Christian got his real estate license in 2003 and in 2005 he left USAA and began selling real estate full time. In 2010 he began managing property and in 2020 Christian opened his own real estate brokerage, Inlet Realty and Property Management. His company now has eight agents and manages 140 doors across Southeast Virginia. Snapshot: What is your number one failure in real estate? What advice would you give to other militaries to be successful? What inspired you to serve your country? What is your dream? Quotes: “Happy tenants tell you when there's water stains on the ceiling before there's mold growing on it.” - Christian Phillips “You can't be afraid to outsource some parts of the job so that you can work on the bigger stuff.” - Christian Phillips “Just because you're willing to, doesn't mean you have the ability to.” - Christian Phillips Connecting with the Guest: www.inletrealty.com
