They call it a tribe, a family, or something similar, giving people the sense they belong to something special—often creating a tight-knit environment that makes it harder to question what’s really being offered.So, what’s the takeaway?

Thankfully, I come from a close-knit family who believed in me.That second investment turned out to be a game-changer.

Over the years, I’ve seen how a tight knit community sometimes means less competition and more welcoming neighbors.

Think of it as the rough sketch that helps you figure out where you want to swim: Omaha’s stable single-family rentals with decent cash flow and strong appreciation potential, the sizzling up-and-coming pockets around San Antonio where off-market deals still lurk if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, or those tight-knit Chicago neighborhoods where a trusted investor-friendly agent can point you to contractors who won’t ghost you mid-reno.

If your property is 1259 sq ft, and the going rate for 1250 properties in a close-knit are is 1250/month, then two things are a given.  1: In order to get the 1250 you need to have no problems with that property.  2:  just because you added gold fixtures in the bath, and a marble floor in the foyer, you're not getting more than 1250. 

You will see that this is a pretty tight knit community and you will soon find yourself surrounded by the right people if you put in the time and effort to connect with people. 

Abel Hi Abel thank you for taking the time to post this I appreciate it It gives me a lot of great information I own a restaurant in a tight knit community so I think I have a good starting point for potential clients I have around 5 hours a day to work on the side hustle I will add that book to my list are there any other books you recommend for getting into real estate? 

Maybe the other guys will like your hand-knit sweatband, and you'll create a business around that and make millions.The point is, you need to focus on getting started right now.

Gabriel, I work and educate investors nationwide but I do have to say - CT is one of the most tightly-knit investing communities in the country.

No one that has been at real estate for more than a couple years has had no losers, and when you lose your family's money, well sometimes those close knit families aren't nearly as close knit and you start getting people playing sides.
