What Real Estate Can Teach You About Marriage (and Vice Versa)
Episode 245
Wednesday, 23 July, 2025
On this special episode of the Real Estate Education Podcast, Erin and James celebrate their ten-year wedding anniversary by exploring the surprising parallels between successful relationships and smart real estate investing. Drawing from their decade of marriage and years of property investment experience, they break down six key principles that govern both domains: from the critical importance of communication and goal alignment to understanding when battles are worth fighting and why daily consistency trumps grand gestures. The hosts share candid insights about their own relationship dynamics, including lessons learned from their one partnership experience (a Colorado Springs duplex that taught them valuable lessons about working styles), and how their complementary approaches to decision-making have served them well in both marriage and real estate ventures. They also tackle common misconceptions, like the "never go to bed angry" advice and why the 1% rule isn't gospel, emphasizing that there's no universal "right way" to approach either marriage or property investing.
