The value of coaching and mentorship

[Arn Cenedella]

Remember your first bike ride without training wheels? 

Your first day at a new school or job?

Your first date with someone special? 🚲💼❤️

Even with 40 years in real estate, I felt the same way about buying my first apartment building. I'd been to a few rodeos as a residential broker in Silicon Valley and had a big single-family rental portfolio. 

But multifamily? That was uncharted territory.

I wanted to cross the finish line, but I wasn't sure I could do it. 

That's where my mentor, Reed, came in. I first "met" Reed while listening to a podcast about his journey from Australia to the US - a place he never visited before. 🌏

Laura and I had a similar "stranger in a strange land" journey when we left Silicon Valley for South Carolina - 2,800 miles across America. We took a leap of faith and moved where we knew no one. Now, 9 years later, we couldn't be happier. We had a vision of the life we wanted and didn't let the naysayers derail us. 🌟

When I first got into multifamily, I felt like the new kid on the block. Shy and afraid to express my own opinions. Reed talked me off the ledge when due diligence revealed surprises. He assured me we'd get through the frustrating process of securing a loan.

And we did. Three years later, that property is exceeding expectations. Since then, I've acquired 6 or 7 more multifamily properties.

The greatest periods of growth in my life occurred when I was willing to be uncomfortable and vulnerable.

Think back to all the times you were nervous or afraid. Remember how good it felt when you pushed through and succeeded.

If you've been spinning your wheels for the past 6 to 12 months, maybe it's time to get some help and support. You don't have to do it alone. Don't let fear hold you back from achieving your multifamily investing goals. With the right guidance, you can overcome obstacles and succeed. 💪
