Is there anything you wish you had known when you began your real estate career? 

While that would be nice to build up a lot of money and save, however that would just push me back even further from starting my real estate future plans, careers, family, etc.

Hey Martin, If you're interested in getting started, you should try to find a career in real estate.

I had the same uneasy feeling thinking about ditching my W2 job to pursue a career in real estate, when the market turned for the worst.

By definition, these type of loans are not the same quality as what is traded on wall street. 

The scope of work, quality needed, location etc will determine the cost.

For example, should we focus on acquiring one high-quality property in a strong market, or would it make more sense to spread the investment across multiple lower-cost units in emerging areas?

Haha I bet there's been some crazy stuff out there but the one's I'll put up will definitely of better quality and insulated.

As you know, I was so impressed by the quality of the offering that I decided to join as well and have been on a couple of group calls.I'm the Director of Commercial Real Estate Acquisitions for Southcorp Group in Columbus, Georgia.

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.
