Dr. Disha highlights how real estate investing aligns with her values and offers a powerful way to build wealth.

She emphasizes the financial benefits of rental properties, including monthly cash flow, leveraging loans for greater returns, and protection against inflation.

Additionally, she breaks down key tax advantages like depreciation and 1031 exchanges, offering strategies for minimizing taxes and maximizing returns.

Dr. Disha also explains the various rental strategies (long-term, short-term, and mid-term) and how they fit different investor goals. She provides actionable tools and metrics, such as cap rates and IRR, to ensure sound investment decisions.

Top 4 Takeaways

1. Real Estate Offers Cash Flow & Leverage: Rental properties generate monthly cash flow, and you can leverage borrowed money (mortgages) to control a valuable asset with minimal upfront investment.

2. Appreciation & Inflation Protection: Properties appreciate over time, and real estate provides a hedge against inflation by rising in value as the cost of living increases.

3. Tax Benefits Are Key: Investors can take advantage of tax deductions such as depreciation, mortgage interest, and 1031 exchanges, significantly lowering taxable income.

4. Understand Investment Metrics: Tools like the 50% rule, cap rate, and IRR help analyze property value and ensure a sound investment that aligns with financial goals.
