I’ve done one successfully in the past, so I’m not a complete novice regarding the topic, but that one experience doesn’t make me any less worried about the possibility of running out of time.

Quote from @Rachel Jane: First post, no idea what I’m doing, lolMy grandfather passed away and left me his condo, which is fully paid off (and located in a seniors residence) It’s worth approx $500,000 (CAD).

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I had no idea they would decline me for MY OWN MONEY technically.   

Honestly I researched real estate topics for 7 years before this purchase.

Feel free to DM if you have any questions or would like some resources on the topic. 

For example - 7e does not own a thing, so a bank probably has no idea who 7e is. 

Marketing, virtual leasing, ai bots, and screening are just a few popular topics.

Cold calling is a great idea to get started, but maybe try connecting with local real estate groups or online forums too—they can sometimes have off-market deals.
