Manage episode 421742904 series 3557792
Real estate investing is often dull, but its lack of excitement is what leads to long-term success.
On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Dani Beit-Or, a real estate mogul who started his path as essentially financially illiterate. Dani is the founder and CEO of Simply Do It, a company dedicated to assisting busy individuals make remote real estate investments. As an Israeli immigrant, Dani brings his unique perspective on real estate investing in the U.S. to his clients and helps them avoid common mistakes.
Jonathan and Dani start their conversation by exploring Dani’s background as the child of traditional, conservative Israeli parents and how he was first exposed to real estate as an investment vehicle. You’ll hear why he discourages people from investing in hot markets, the general appeal of real estate, and how he defines a “negative role model.” Dani shares with Jonathan how his parents reacted to his decision to become an entrepreneur, where his first investment property was located, what he learned from it, and the lessons Dani took from the 2008 crash. Jonathan and Dani also discuss his systems and processes, why he doesn’t deviate from them, the mistakes new investors are making, and why you have to learn what questions to ask and get comfortable talking to people.
