Hey, everyone :)
I'd love to give my experience with the sub to community so far as well in the couple of months since I joined the group. For context, I'm new to the world of real estate and haven't done any deals yet. I currently have a full time W2 that takes up most of my time, so putting myself in a position where I can earn extra income and eventually transition away from my W2 through real estate investing is a top priority for me.
I actually learned about Pace Morby through BiggerPockets. I love listening to the BP podcasts and I happened to listen to his first interview with the crew and his message intrigued me. Being someone that appreciates structure and convenience, after some research I decided to join sub to and shorten my learning curve as much as I could.
In the time that I've been involved with the group, there are 2 aspects of the group that I have found invaluable to me in my pursuit of financial freedom:
1.) The daily zoom trainings and archived recordings of high value past trainings
There are daily calls that I can attend focusing on role playing with sellers and agents (pre-foreclosures, expired listings, direct to agent, etc).
I've been able to not only role play with experienced investors on these different scenarios and get instant feedback, but also listen to them provide feedback to other people. There have been multiple times in these sessions where they've talked to sellers live and actually closed deals, which is amazing to see as a new investor.
While I've seen investors call sellers and close deals on youtube, what I haven't been able to do is get that real time, instant feedback from role playing WITH them, while being able to ask questions to sharpen my skills.
Also, being able to go in other zoom trainings live and see how investors underwrite their deals, stop foreclosures, etc. are simply on a different level of value because I can ask questions and get clarification right then and there.
2.) The Facebook community itself
As I said, I'm new to investing, so having access to the facebook community and not only seeing questions/answers that people are posting, but also seeing deals that members of the community are posting its extremely helpful to me.
There have been a couple of deals posted there where I didn't quite understand how or why it was a deal, so I reached out to the person to ask them how they were looking at it and they were happy to walk through it with me. That’s not a level of assistance that I'm confident I would have received outside of that community.
Being able to have zoom meetings with people that have different skills, such as experience with loan modifications and stopping foreclosures, transaction coordinators, etc. can do NOTHING except help me along my journey.
I'm not interested in the negativity or back and forth mud-slinging, but as someone that thrives on having a structure, convenience and who likes real time feedback, I can absolutely recommend the program. I think the BiggerPockets community is awesome, too. I'm more of a lurker on social media and admittedly should and will get more involved on here. I'm happy to hold myself accountable and post any deals that I do in the future for those asking. Hopefully we can all work together in the future and do some deals!
