4. Enjoying the process, not letting one bad buy discourage you, and determining YOUR amount for cash reserves | Jay from Being Determined
Episode description
I could listen to Jay's amazing perspective on life, and his nuggets of wisdom for DAYS. I love how he shares his journey from being young and knowing it all, to experiencing BIG losses on a property, to learning to love the journey (and all those tax advantages!). Getting your ego in check, and instead focusing on the kind of lifestyle you want to build most. He shares his thought process behind how much debt to keep, how much cash reserves to keep on hand, and the best time a person should buy investments, or even a primary residence. We talk both real estate and equities/stocks (hint: he also is a big index fund fan). I love Jay's thought process behind why he does not have any bonds in his current portfolio. He shares about the first property he ever bought, and how he thinks House Hacking is the way to go for newbies (but perhaps not for the nearly married). I think you will love the wisdom, AND the cute story on how he first met his wife!
