If I had a piece of advice other than being patient and not caught in fomo, it would be to really try to get to know whomever you do business with wherever you invest. 

@Anastasia MonroTo achieve financial independence in real estate, focus on boosting savings, improving credit, getting pre-approved for a mortgage, searching for properties with high rental demand, researching local laws and regulations, building a team, staying educated, preparing for property maintenance and management, and being patient and persistent.

That's why they wait so patiently for Border Patrol to pick them up once they cross the border. 

To get a couple dozen units that you own personally... save your pennies, buy right, be patient and let a few years pass.

He's patient and kind and transparent.

Maybe that "inaction" of not buying is actually the "action" of raising cash and being patient?

So enjoy it and be persistent, and patient.

Please be patient.

I’m patient enough to wait for that.

P.S I'm a little anxious because this is my first time using the BiggerPockets forum so please be patient with me!
