I recently quit my job to dedicate full time to RE investing.Given the macro instability Latin American economies faced for decades, people with savings are constantly looking out for opportunities to invest in the US, specially in RE.So, a few months ago I partenered with a RE developer from my country and we are now focused on getting multifamily deals in Florida.Looking forward to connecting with all of you and adding value where I can!

It helps me think through the macro environment and set realistic goals.  

I usually scoff at real estate experts who just talk about national or regional macro trends.

For sure, don't just believe what a few luddites on BP have to say.One of the few in here who understands the space from a macro level. 

That can be on a micro level like near parks or nightlife or macro level of better climate and terrain.

From macro economic perspective, These cycle can only be executed when Fed is increasing money supply.Syndication is like the wolf eating a wolf game, it's just at what one position during cycle that would determine you make it big money or you may commit suicide ( there's GP that's already committed suicide) just saying how serious it is ...My fist commercial mortgage was a 10 year.

Given the current macro-economic climate, many people (myself included) anticipate a significant draw down in the US housing market (and economy as a whole) over the next 12-18 months.

You just need to learn the macro.

I recently found myself struggling to even find a podcast to listen to, none sounded like anything that would serve me in my current state of mind, (out side of BP On the market, let's be honest that's the only reason i have any idea what's going on at a macro level with the economy at all, so anytime a new episode is out there its a listing immediately).  

Agents may also have macro data on historical data, local median sale prices, absorption rate, etc to help with your analyses and projections.Networking/build a team: Attend local meetups, virtual meetups and stay active on forums like this.A lot of this will be done in front of a PC unfortunately but if you cut out the noise, you'll be able to maximize your time.Lastly, something that has helped me tremendously with respect to focus and improving efficiency is the pommodor technique.
