A common difficulty for real estate investors is making the jump into diversification: diversifying one’s investments can lead to larger returns and can provide supplemental support or income if one market fails, but it may prove intimidating to manage investments in several different market types. Investors are usually more comfortable investing in a single market rather than risk a loss in unknown markets.

For Jason Hartman, its all about diversification. Jason has been involved in the brokerage of several thousand real estate transactions and owned investment properties in 11 states and 17 cities. In his long career, Jason has championed diversification of investment markets and his company, Platinum Properties Investor Network assists investors with acquiring income properties in diverse markets. Jason joins us on the podcast to discuss his strategies for building and diversifying your real estate portfolio.
