Episode 15: Building a Track Record in Real Estate Investing with Jonathan New

Jonathan New’s real estate career began in July 2007 when he purchased and house hacking an SFH while stationed in Jacksonville, FL. Taking a hiatus from real estate for about 10 years, Jonathan restarted accumulating properties in the Hampton Roads area including numerous small multifamily, building a 21 unit portfolio within a year. A master of networking, Jonathan has been a part of 9 joint ventures and shows no signs of slowing down.

Takeaways:

• Accumulated 21 units by constantly hustling.
• Having a track record gives you a reputation and your networking gets you the money and the deals
• Identify which specific markets you want to get into and become the expert.
• If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not learning.

Snapshot Rounds:

1. What is the number one thing you need as a new investor to get started? 100% courage.
2. What is one nugget of investing knowledge you want to give us outside of what you already gave us? I would say follow the open doors. Keep walking through until they close.
3. What is your dream? My dream is to be the best dad that I can be to teach these three little monsters.
