I can say for certain my top 2 moments of the conference were the initial guided networking session lead by Andy Gil, really was a great small group of investors and I'm confident I'm going to consistently keep up with their journeys!

Larger checks often want longer track records.  2014 founding doesn't cut it when these same investors have access to groups with 1998 founded companies, with more deals and similarly consistent returns.Co-investment: Larger checks often do require significant co-investment.  10% of equity is common.  

Any screening process needs CONSISTENT improvement!

For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!

Hey Brother, We've run our cabin in Pigeon forge for 3 years, consistent $90-100K gross rev.

Figure out where your strengths lie and focus on that.After doing this for two decades, the biggest takeaway is to stay consistent, build relationships, and always be prepared to pivot.

What will this generational wealth consist of?  

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

I will definitely keep you in mind once I start looking into that aspect of real estate, and I really appreciate the offer to help me learn about all the options available.
