Most new investors want to buy properties in their local area, where they’re more familiar with their surroundings. However, no rules exist about this principle, and being willing to travel outside your comfort zone can help you achieve big success.
On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Soli Cayetano joins Jonathan to share how she started real estate investing using out-of-state properties. Soli is the brains behind Lattes & Leases, and she’s been documenting her real estate journey since the pandemic. Today, at 26 years old, she’s up to 49 units and quit her nine-to-five at 23. By 25, she was a millionaire. Soli focuses on out-of-state investment opportunities and teaches others how to do the same.
Soli shares why documenting her story on Instagram has been instrumental in her success. She and Jonathan cover how the pandemic allowed her to create a fresh start, her introduction to real estate investing as a college student, and the advantages she believes she has as a young female investor. Soli explains her approach to social media, why she chose Cincinnati for her first property investment, and why she had to learn more about financing before she could continue buying properties. Jonathan and Soli also discuss her Out of State Investor Academy, using social media to create authentic connections, and why it’s better to start small and make mistakes on those properties than with the big, fun projects you really want to do.
With no followers and a lot of grit, Soli Cayetano leveraged social media to create a thriving business that continues to scale.
