Enjoying the Process

[Ashley K. Butler]

Hey BP Community!

I want to know what other newbies are doing and seasoned real estate pros have done to enjoy the process along the way when they were getting started?

I am still in the process of looking to become prequalified within the 3-6 months for either VA or FHA Loan.

I am looking for W-2 work, as most of the lenders, agents, and other real estate pros have said with being self-employed at least 2 years of income is required, and I just started my wine tour LLC business back in July and that won't fly 🤦🏾‍♀️. I hate to put business operations on hold, but I want to get my first real estate deal done before summer 2023 and am laying the framework to do so.

I’m building myself back up from ground zero after all the not-so-great things that have happened this year like many of you have done or are doing.

Other than looking at my goals, telling myself it’s going to get better, working and believing in my plan, and being content with the process, what are you guys doing?

Is it more reading, podcasts, events, or something else?

Just want to know.

Definitely focus a lot of your energy on relationship building too. Your network is huge when doing real estate deals, especially the first few. People can point you in the right direction, help you out on a deal, or even get you a new deal. I recommend going on platforms like meetup and eventbrite to check out what events are going on in your local area.
