10 Costly Real Estate Investing Mistakes We’ve Made

Dan Brisse breaks down the 10 most costly mistakes he and the Granite Towers Equity Group team have made—and continues to see investors make—in multifamily real estate. From relying on short-term bridge debt and aggressive rent growth to buying unfamiliar markets, blindly trusting broker pro formas, forcing deals to work, and investing with inexperienced operators, these mistakes can become extremely expensive when the market turns. Dan also explains why cash flow, conservative underwriting, experienced operators, meaningful cash reserves, and understanding market cycles are critical to surviving difficult periods and positioning yourself for future opportunities. Looking back on years of investing, the biggest lesson is simple: you don't have to avoid every mistake, but you need to learn from them before they cost you everything.
