What would you do if you could fly for free?
I was recently laid off from my W2 job in the midst of the pandemic but I still intent on buying in Cleveland or Baltimore this year. It's very easy for me to look at all the things I don't have (access to bank financing, many years of experience, money to burn, etc.) but I'm shifting my focus to the unique things I do have.
I'm able to fly for free thanks to a family member who works for a major airline. I also have lots of time since the work from my 1099 gig will always be done remotely, plus one deal under my belt with decent cashflow and excellent tenants.
If you were in my shoes, how would you use the abundance of time and travel perks to further your own investing progress and/or provide value to a more experienced investor you hope to learn from? My only thought so far is flying to the cities I plan to buy in and living there for 2-4 weeks.
I know this isn't the ideal environment to be flying in and there are certain restrictions to my benefits. Never mind either of those points for now; just looking for ideas. Thanks in advance!
