Newbie here looking for some advice

I did my first house hack last year, now I’m getting serious about real estate investing. What are some of the best tips you wish you knew when first starting out?

@Leah Mitchell

1. patience. it's not a get-rich-quick scheme, it's a get-rich-for-sure. that doesn't always resonate well in today's microwave society.

2. it's a people business. it's about the people you meet and work with. spend a lot of time networking and understanding how you can provide others value.

3. consistency and focus are key. it's too easy to chase all the new shiny objects after every IG post or podcast you see or listen to. pick a lane and stick to it for years before you start looking elsewhere. look at your market and deals every day. EVERY day!

4. get great at analyzing deals.

5. don't reinvent the wheel. find people who are a few steps ahead of you and leverage what they know to accelerate your success.

happy to discuss in more detail and share any of the tools, tips, tricks, resources we like today and loved when we got started. do not hesitate to reach out
