Curious to know what were some pitfalls that you ran into getting started in real estate, real estate investments or flipping and how you overcame it?

@Maria Checchin trying to do everything myself starting out slowed me down. Would of brought on more professionals and not tried  to bootstrap everything. Overcame it by spending hours to fix little things that shouldn't of wasted time on. It taught me a lot, but knowledge is only valuable if you put it to use. No need to learn everything about screening tenants if your are going to use a PM just let them do it.

Best of luck!
