I've found success in passive investing as a means to learn the industry since my money is put to work but more experienced sponsors are doing the heavy lifting and I can learn from everything they're doing.

You will meet wholesalers, agents, investors, lenders, contractors, and other professionals in the real estate industry.

Hey Steven, There are many scammy hard money loan companies as this side of the industry is unregulated.

This includes budgeting for initial investments, calculating potential returns, and having a contingency plan for unexpected expenses.Real Estate is a vast industry, and with dedication, continuous learning, and ample networking, success is within reach.

Any resources or recommendations for someone new to the industry?

It's true you'll likely make very little money on those deals but your benefit will be expediting the pace at which you learn this industry.  

It's certainly nice to have the input from individuals from within the industry.   

Interest in the real estate industry is definitely down right now.
