I am a current college student and gained interest in real estate as I am working on a project focused on finding ways to expand opportunities for real estate investors.

They’ll have stronger connections with both buyers and sellers, which can open up more opportunities for you!

@Travis HillAlso to your point on driving around I’m a big believer in grading the street within the neighborhood.The neighborhood may be an A but if the streets a C - it might not be a good flip opportunity but a good rental

While the current conditions may feel challenging, they also present opportunities to fine-tune your strategy and stand out in a crowded market.Are you experiencing these trends in your portfolio?

Selling and reinvesting in higher cash-flow properties or other opportunities might provide better returns.

HI John, yes open to contracting work and opportunities

(I know everyone doesn't have that opportunity.)Another factor is the type of deals you're looking for.

(Not as part of my consulting business, just as an opportunity for me to learn and perhaps build a relationship?)
