Lessons learned?

Quote from @Devin James: Im currently learning this lesson with New Builds that have taken twice as long to complete than anticipated.....Finishing a Real Estate project ASAP is critical because...1) Holding Costs add up quickly- Loan Interest- Property Taxes- Insurance2) Investor Capital- Our financial projections are dependent on how fast we can turn our investors capital.

I want to learn the best strategies, find motivated sellers, and connect with experienced investors.If you have any advice on marketing, contracts, or building a buyers list, I’d love to hear it.

Learning negotiation tactics I can apply to business partnerships2.

Thanks in advance, I've learnt a lot from your posts as well as the Bigger Pockets podcast and look forward to learning more.  

Focus on networking with local investors, learning market trends in your new area, and deciding on a strategy that fits your goals.Good luck!

But the best way to learn?

For my first investment, I'm looking for a safer investment with a goal to at least break even in 12 months and possibly focus on learning long term cash flow and appreciation.

I'm looking to meet new people in this space and learn more about real estate.

I would suggest also getting a mentor someone who you shorten your learning curve.
