Honestly, just thinking of the books I have read but I am completely ignorant about it currently but from what I have learned and it may be obvious so my apologies but someone who is willing and able to put in the time (working on their "days off"), communicates with their client regularly and can be motivational/supportive during harder times.  Someone who is relentlessly working to close and creates a track record for striving to being the best servant leader for their people. Understands the mindset of an investor as well of the understanding of a market and to have connections they are willing to connect someone with. This is just something that I look/am looking for.  Best of luck. 

Well my intent of the post was not to complain or gripe about work life but to understand where other people have struggled at because I truly understand the value of having both. In reality I know it will be unequal at times. My strategy is aligned with my goals seeing that time blocking throughout my day to set aside time to focus on small goals to affect my large goals. Through talking with other investors turnkey properties look like the investment may not be worth what is put into it. Now I truly do not know this because I am ignorant about the investment and have done little research on turnkey but if you have positive insight on turnkey I would love to hear about your successes from them. Though I like the idea of partnering with someone who does BRRRR full time and I appreciate the feedback it is something I will set aside time to look into myself because I do have people in my life that would probably love to but a partner in something like that.

 I understand it's a big give and take and there are times where things will be unequal through certain times throughout.  I give up hours of sleep and social time, which is easier for me because I do my best work on 5-6 hours of sleep anyways.  Time blocking as been a huge help to me to ensure I am focused on one thing only during certain periods throughout my day and being more specific on my timeline with small goals that are aligned with my big audacious goal.  

That is awesome, I really like the passion behind what you said.  I need to be more specific within my goals.  Thank you for the advice!

 Wow!  Thank you so much.  Very helpful.

 My apologies I was not clear on my intent in this.. I currently do not have a property. I am looking to where people have struggled and where I can learn from before I do get into the process. I just have a few loose ends to tie before I do. I am highly considering not doing the rehab myself but I also understand the rising in costs during this time and how that could dip into equity quite a bit.  Although I will not fully understand until I take action and make mistakes along the way to learn from. Thank you for the advice on staying aware throughout the time . It will be a lot of give and take during the process and balancing I could imagine.

 I appreciate the honesty.  I value my work, I truly enjoy being there and the process of it.  So in a sense of not having to be there I do not, that being said I enjoy it and typically am there 6am-6:30p sometimes 7.  I do not have kids and social life is my two days off.  I struggle with having a social life other than going to the gym.  It’s weird and has been a struggle to balance a social life, my fitness goals, and learning about real estate.  I’ve found that waking up earlier gets me a head start on the day to take advantage of time but by 9 I’m ready for bed.  It’s a weird balance already and I haven’t even gotten into any properties yet!  I will look into turn key and could really see how this is beneficial to my work/life balance.  Thank you

 Thank you for the advice!  Very helpful.

 Was one of your biggest struggles starting out when you first started?  How did you overcome it?

Good morning!

I am 25 years old, I work a full time career with a great company I plan on retiring with.  With that being said I just wanted to reach out and see what struggles people have came across with and how they overcame these struggles with working a full time job but also being able to manage a social life and being able to manage their own Real Estate goals.  The reason I am wanting to be in real estate is to be able to retire from the company ideally once I've hit my 25 years, to live financially comfortable within my means and to leave something for my family when I am gone.  With this being said things never go as planned, understandably so.

Looking at this I am not a fan of excuses and I am working on managing my time better to create more consistency with time blocking, I know it is possible to do this by working through your people you have put in place, but I am just here to learn from mistakes that other people may have made.  I am looking to build connections with people and learn from anyone I can so feel free to message me or reply to this post, any information or advice is appreciated!

Thank you,

Kyle
