The one thing you wish you did first?

My husband and I are jumping right in and we have joined BiggerPockets. We are beginning to look for some multifamily properties.

I’m just curious, what’s the one thing you wish you did first before you began investing?

@Deniqua Antoine I wish I had gone to networking events earlier in my career so that I could have met my team of realtors, lenders, contractors, etc. I wasted around five years learning and reading before I took action and in those five years I could have picked up some amazing deals. Obviously, you can't do meetups right now outside of virtual ones, but it makes sense to network like crazy so that you can find local folks who are in the trenches investing.
