How to Practice Perfect

[Brock Stubbendeck]

How's everyone doing. I am a recent college grad who has recently moved from Florida to Washington D.C. after landing my dream job making a median salary for a large fortune 500 company!

Unfortunately, I made the tough realization that corporate life was not enough for me and I wanted to experiment with investing. The good news is that soon after this epiphany came to me I discovered real estate investing and I have been spending all of my time learning as much as I can. Seeing that Washington D.C. is crazy expensive and that my job seems it will be remote indefinitely my new plan is to move back in with my parents after my lease ends in July, save as much money from my job as possible until I can put a down payment on a house hack on a nice place in my low cost of living home state of Florida.

It's a nice plan right? Here is where I could really use your help. I feel so inspired by reading books, listening to podcasts, and watching webinars on BiggerPockets but I am realizing that most of my real estate goals can only be achieved in the beginning of 2022 when I have the money saved up, that leaves me with an interesting problem, what should I be doing between now and then? My dad always told me "Practice does NOT make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect", I would love to hear from you on what you think are the best things I can be doing from now until I have my first $20ish thousand. Thank you for even reading this is my first post and all feedback would be appreciated. Even if you just want to chat I would love to talk/network with people that are involved with real estate investing!

(In case you have any questions about me I am a 21 year old guy with about $2500 in my savings and I am planning on moving from Navy Yard Washington D.C and moving back with my parents in Melbourne, FL. Open to property anywhere in FL)
