Today we are going to discuss why you need buckets of money in real estate investing. Each bucket has a purpose, and filling them is the key to success. Let’s break it down.

Cash for deals

The first bucket is cash for deals. This is your go-to money for buying properties. It could come from savings, hard money loans, or even private lenders. For example, if you spot a great fix-and-flip deal, you’ll dip into this bucket to lock it in.

Rehab bucket

Next, there’s the rehab bucket. After buying a property, it often needs work. You’ll need funds to cover repairs, updates, or upgrades. Say you bought a fixer-upper with outdated kitchens and bathrooms. You’d pull from this bucket to make it rental-ready or appealing to buyers.

Holding and operating costs

The third bucket is holding and operating costs. Real estate takes time, and you’ll need to cover mortgage payments, utilities, and insurance while waiting for your return. For instance, if a property sits on the market for three months, this bucket keeps things afloat.

Emergency bucket

Lastly, don’t forget the emergency bucket. Surprises pop up in real estate—unexpected repairs or delays. This bucket is your safety net. It’s like when a plumbing issue costs more than planned—you’ll thank yourself for having a backup.

Set yourself up for success

By thinking in buckets, you stay prepared, reduce stress, and make smarter decisions. Real estate investing works best when your finances are organized and ready for anything. So, start filling those buckets today, and watch your investments grow!
