We asked: What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started in Real Estate?

Top 9 pieces of the Real Estate puzzle are:

1-Potential for helping others.

2-Use leverage to keep cash in your pocket for the unknown.

3-Ability to raise capital is unlimited.

4-Focus on the controllables and invest smart.

5-Long distance investing is over-hyped.

6-Requires more cash than you think.

7-Get started ASAP.

8-Pareto Principle-80% of effects come from 20% of the causes.

9-Don't worry about all the nay sayers: market crash, etc.

Thank you to all who participated in our unofficial survey!
