4 Real Estate Investment Myths That Stop Homeowners From Building Wealth

At Jelaine & Co., we help homeowners grow wealth through strategic real estate investing. But we often see smart, capable people hesitate because of a few common myths.

If you’re thinking about using your home equity to buy an investment property or start building passive income, here’s what you need to know.

Myth 1: I Need $100,000 in Cash to Get Started
Truth: Most of our clients start by accessing home equity or using creative financing solutions. You don’t need six figures in cash.

Myth 2: The Real Estate Market Is Too High Right Now
Truth: Trying to time the market can backfire. A good deal with the right financing and strategy matters more than chasing the perfect price.

Myth 3: Being a Landlord Is Too Complicated
Truth: With basic education, systems, and support, owning rental property is easier than you think, even for first-timers.

Myth 4: I Need to Be a Real Estate Expert
Truth: You just need a solid team, discipline, and a plan. We walk our clients through every step.

Stat to Know: 75% of first-time real estate investors use financing or home equity, not savings.

Client Quote: “I thought I had to wait years. But Jelaine & Co. showed me how to get started with my existing equity. Game changer.”
