Key Takeaways:
"We chose real estate, my husband and I, because it is accessible to everybody. There are no restrictions; you don't have to have a special degree. You can be an immigrant and not understand English. Real estate is available to everyone, young and old." - July Ono
"I do the little things every single day. And little things incrementally add up. I didn't think I was going to be a millionaire in a year and a half."- July Ono
"Some people get emotionally entangled with the investor candy, I call it, they're looking at all the wrong things. You have to look at the numbers. They're brutal. And if it doesn't work, you have to have the discipline to walk away. And if you can't walk away on your own, you surround yourself with a team who can walk away."- July Ono
"Just imagine you're putting, let's say 25% down to buy an asset, but your return is based on the 100% value of the building. So, your money is already increasing its leverage four times."- July Ono
"I love looking at my annual mortgage statements because that's when I update my net worth. It's getting less and my equity's getting more."- July Ono
"The tax benefits, that's why it's great because all of a sudden if you're borrowing money for the investment off your line of credit, for instance, that line of credit payment, you can deduct it as a cost of doing business."- July Ono
"Buy passive income with your equity. That's the highest and the best thing you can do with your capital. Capital is scarce. It's rare; it's precious. And so, when you have it, you hang on to it by investing it so that it makes more."- July Ono
