In this episode of Properties to Profits, I dive into one of the toughest challenges we face as real estate investors—knowing when to let go. Whether it’s a property, a deal gone bad, or just our own pride, holding on too long can cost far more than money. I break down real-life situations, including a powerful story of a friend who waited too long to sell, and how that decision impacted everything from stress to credit.

I also share the mindset shifts and decision-making frameworks I use to avoid these traps, and why relying on trusted mentors and advisors is crucial in today’s shifting market. If you’re facing a tough call or sitting on a decision, this episode might be just what you need to move forward with clarity.
