From my experience, to succeed in multifamily investing, focus on networking through local meetups, online forums, and professional connections, leveraging your CPA skills to analyze deals and optimize deductions.

Been in IT for 20 years, looking to put my skills to work to build up my retirement.Chris Welcome to BiggerPockets!

If you bot H1 22, it's more luck than skill.

@Henry Clark Your writing skills is excellent.I learned & enjoyed at the same time.

I appreciate your marketing skills at trying to shut down naysayers with half truths and I also appreciate you airing my private financial information on a public forum thankfully it is only partially correct.  

Marketing ; the same and the ideas keep coming and coming My thinking is that you need more income and a sellable skill. 

One of the reasons why I’m bullish on real estate investing is because I am more afraid of the “what if I didn’t invest” rather than the “what if it goes wrong.”Yes, I could fail and lose everything I started with, but I’d still be farther along than if I never started at all.I’d have the knowledge, skills, and lessons that only come from taking action.Every misstep is a step forward when you’re learning and adapting.The real risk isn’t failure, it’s standing still and letting fear hold you back.Take action!!!

I played collegiate football at Montana State, where I learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and persistence—skills that I now bring to my journey in real estate.

I’m looking to get started at using my people and negotiation skills in the market fully, I’m hunting for properties in the UK that can be hidden gems or fixer uppers, with a keen eye for architecture and a clear understanding of value and use I’m thoroughly analysing websites and in person sites for good deals.

Anyway, you mention you've "developed a strong foundation in market analysis, design, and project management", which are all important in the development space.My question, what areas do you feel you are lacking and are either trying to develop those skills yourself, or you'd prefer to bring someone onto your "team" that would provide that expertise?
