When you were starting RE investing what was the best tip

As a newbie RE investor (I'm barely 2 mos in) every day I learn something new and exciting. And just about every day, I question why I want to be an investor lol. It's a lot! I haven't closed any deals yet, but I'm not rushing this either. Slow and steady is my motto. I'm going the route of wholesaling because I have a small budget. While I've gotten conflicting opinions on whether this is a sensible way to enter REI, I'm going to pursue it this way, while keeping an open mind.

I truly appreciate the advice, recommendations, and experiences that have been shared with me so far. This has been through FB groups and BP, because I don't have a network locally that I can tap into. But I'm working on that. 

My question to those of you who are experienced or have been at this a while, what is the most important advice(s) you would give a new investor starting out? What advice would you give them that you wished you had known when you started out? 

I look forward to the day when I can pour my knowledge and experience into young investors and give back to this community.

It was never given to me as a tip, but what I've found is that people generally succeed as much as their mind/thinking will allow, meaning if they're exposed to high-performance people they will generally perform at a high level. Always seek out those working in the upper tier of your niche.
