As an investor since 1985 when I bought my first duplex in college, I've been wanting to immerse myself 150%!!!

I'm using the several months it'll take me to save this up to immerse myself in my local MLS to try to know the market better than anyone else in the area, educate myself, meet and talk to other local investors, and hang out on BP.Sure this is a much slower approach, but I'm okay with being the tortoise over the hare (my Dave Ramsey showing again).

Personally I'm a learn by immersion and by doing person. 

It seems you're on the right track by immersing yourself and setting your goals for yourself: what metrics you want, what markets interest you, etc.If you already have a specific market that you are looking at, I would think a mentor in that area would be more helpful for that particular investment journey. 

Rule two immerse yourself with other investors and not sales people.

This means that investors can freely visit and immerse themselves in the ranch environment, truly connecting with its essence and reaping the rewards of their ownership. 

Currently we are developing a business plan, identifying our goals, both business and personal, creating our partnership agreement and immersing ourselves in as much real estate knowledge as possible, including books, BP blogs and forums and of course the podcast.

In 2019 I thought the eagle had landed with the release of a much hyped CRM but once I was fully immersed in that system the many shortcomings forced us to leave almost immediately.Then we entered the nomad's land of google spreadsheets and reminders to manage leads.

It's been a journey and I'm really immersing into it.

It's helped keep me immersed and focused on my real estate journey.
