WHAT ARE SOME THINGS YOU WISH YOU WOULD'VE KNOWN SOONER!

[Rapy Narruhn]

Hey guys! 

It's hard to ever come up with a forum or a question to ask on the forum because as soon as I type it in the "search platform," the answer is there. So I decided... why not ask something personal?

What is that one thing that you wished you would've known or you wished someone would've told you that could've minimized your mistakes and helped you achieve your goals faster? 

or  even just a....

Fun fact that you don't think a lot of people would know about real estate. 

Thanks in advance.

I would say the #1 piece of advice I give to people starting out is: Make sure you figure out your lead source/flow before anything else. Before building your buyers list or structuring your purchase and sales agreement, you need to figure out where you are going to get your deals from. How are you going to get in contact with motivated sellers and what type of property are you looking for. 

Once you have some leads coming in and you know what your looking for, you can then start to structure offers and build your buyers list. There is no need to put the cart before the horse.

Hope this helps and I cant wait to see what other things people post here!
