Remember that you’re incurring a vacancy loss every day you don’t have a tenant in place, so you should consider the trade-off here.

.: Wow I just got caught up on this @James Wise, bummed I missed the live action.

Take action (when you are 80% ready!)

1) Don't fall into analysis paralysis, theres a ton of ways to invest in Real Estate, pick one and go.2) Take action.

Being able to pick their brains is always helpful, both their successes, red flags, war stories, etc.And as Jonathan mentioned, the very first step of actually taking action is knowing how much money you have to allocate to buying a property, fixing up a property (if needed) and how much a bank will lend to you.  

I first want to emphasize to real estate investors, the difference between the tax treatment of rental income derived from an active trade or business compared to investments.

All younger people should be considering trades right now as that industry will be paying more and more over time.

@Eduardo Sandoval Ramirez - Absolutely, you are just trading paper for a profit.

My opinion, a rate a buy down isn't usually worth the trade offs vs keeping the cash in hand.

Finally, accountability is key, as we take ownership of our actions and results both individually and as a team, creating a foundation for trust, growth, and long-term success.
