Lessons you wish you’d known?

[Eric Gallagher]

Hi all,

I'm a new wanna-be investor in West Virginia, and am immersing myself in the education phase. Of everything I've read about strategies, I am leaning toward BRRRR, and will be studying creative methods of financing deals. But enough about me...

General question, for those of you that have been successful in real estate investment... What are 1 or 2 lessons that you’ve learned now that would have made the biggest impact on your success if you’d known them before your first investment?

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to share!
