Using Long Distance Investing to Build Generational Wealth with Isaiah Henry

Getting started in real estate is often thought of as buying that first property and doing it all on your own.

But real estate investing entails many facets but that doesn’t mean you have to do it all yourself. You can always focus on what you are good at and outsource the rest.

Managing this business requires people with different skill sets suitable for the many aspects involved. The skills you have in networking and building relationships will come in handy. Additionally, there are tools, apps, and software available to make communication more efficient.

In this episode, Isaiah Henry shares how he manages his real estate investing business, especially when it comes to BRRR projects, without being physically present on site. Hear about his tools and resources for automating systems and creating efficient processes.

He shares his story about how coaching and mentorship helped him grow personally and professionally and how the fear of risk stops people from getting into real estate. However, he offers a very insightful viewpoint. You have to dig it.

Finally, find out how he gives back to the community as he grows his business.
