  • LOCAL INVESTORS | More Success with a Strong Indianapolis Real Estate Community | Elizabeth Butler
    Oct 4 2024

    Ultimately, as Real Estate investors, we're trying to succeed in our business to gain more wealth, time and life-style changes. We can be hard workers, smart, and persistent, but our success is usually limited when we're operating on our own.


    In order to have greater success as a real estate investor, it's important to have a trusted community of other local investors who can help you go farther faster. Elizabeth Butler, president of CIREIA Club shares with Brett the importance and hidden values of a good local investor community.


    "LEAN IN LOCAL" is a phrase Elizabeth likes to tout. When you engage in a community like the one CIREIA Club has to offer, you won't have to spend time chasing and pursuing people to build a network, you'll automatically prosper from a great legacy of Indianapolis investors who have been doing this work for generations.


    Each of us only know so much, but when we can come together and combine our shared knowledge, experiences and expertise, our success as investors will multiply incredibly farther than if we go in alone. Listen as Elizabeth shares with Brett more of the resources that CIREIA Club has to offer and other unrealized success strategies from being part of a local Indy real estate investor community.

    It is said that cashflow is king. That remains to be true, but in this day and age, tax flow is becoming the new king because the government has a spending problem.

He wrote the book Building a Capital Gains Tax Exit Plan, that teaches how we can defer capital gains tax and use that money to expand our investments further. In this episode, he talks about the importance of having a tax flow mindset, how to defer capital gains tax specifically in real estate, the advantages of a deferred sales trust, and more.
