This was my first property, and while it's been a great learning experience, I made several mistakes along the way—ranging from choosing a realtor who was more focused on closing the deal than finding the right house to having a poor inspection and overlooking issues hidden beneath the surface (literally).

This IS a war, make no mistake, the US is at war right now.

This is my first investment of this sort and it has not worked out how I originally intended but I am learning from my mistakes and will be making better decisions in the near future What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

My “reasoning” is based on two points1- the current system of property records filing in a million different jurisdictions with expensive title searches necessary for almost every title transfer and mistakes still being made can be made much less expensive, much faster, and much more reliable through migration to some sort of “blockchain” National registry.2- Numerous investments have been divided into, and offered as tranches of the whole.  

I will be very careful with my first investment if I were you, unless you have a rich father or uncle who is willing to finance your mistake.

If you want to hear a bit more of my story, I was a guest on the BP podcast and there's a little more context, you can listen here.I've made ALL of the mistakes.

maybe some mistakes that you made or things that you did not think of before making the purchase?

This coming year set the goal of getting more committed to learn and expand my knowledge to avoid previous mistakes taken as well as to be able to effectively continue to expand my portfolio.I’m here to connect with others who are also passionate about real estate, and I’m eager to learn from your experiences, insights, and advice.

And what’s one mistake you’d tell someone new to avoid?

What’s a key mistake you’ve learned from that could help others?
