Hello Trying to get back on the real estate investing space and build new connections that can help me to speed up the process.

Quote from @Brandon Morgan: hey guys I am new to real estate and I just got my first rental property this past year and have tenants and things are finally stable now.

I can price and use AI all I want, but I'm wondering about real life experience what to expect?
