Key Takeaways:
“For our risk tolerance and our lifestyle, we love apartment buildings. We love commercial real estate in general.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“It was a very important step for us to start small and work our way to the bigger stuff because you learn so much doing the smaller ones, duplexes, triplexes. It really set us up to when we jumped into our biggest unit which is a 22 unit building currently. – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“We did not surround ourselves with like-minded people. And it was almost like we flipped the switch about a year and a half ago when we decided that to meet our goals, we have to change. So, we started to really focus on building our portfolio and getting out there and learning from people.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“Real estate meetups and networking events and stuff like that, they just exploded our portfolio.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“We wrote our goals down. It sounds, it sounds so basic, and we did vision boards. Like just everything that we thought was our 10-year plan happened within six to 18 months.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“Our team is really made up of family members, everybody says don’t work with your family. I won’t work with anybody but our family at this point.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“One advice we can give, I think for us it is just, have confidence in yourself. We wish we would have had more confidence in ourselves from the beginning and ask for help.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“We love mentors, get a mentor. We have mentors in so many different real estate and business areas that, at least mentors become our friends and once they become your friends, then there’s just no end to learning from these people.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
“Just have confidence in yourself. Ask for help. Don’t feel like you are asking stupid questions. Trust me, Jamie and I asked every question out there, and I’m glad we did.” – Jamie and Leslie Collard
