Top three tips for new investors?
As a new investor who has spent the last two years reading, listening, and learning about real estate investing, it's an interesting time to be getting started. I have asked a few investors this question, but with everything going on right now, I thought it would be interesting to hear updated perspectives and advice.

Hi @Matt Carozza, here are my three:
- Get started. You'll never be "ready", but you'll get ready en route.
- Learn, a LOT. Embrace a "learner's mentality" and never stop learning.
- Be clear about why - all the suck is less sucky with a strong why, and all the gold glitters less without one.
