I've built a pivot table of brand name vs. cap rates per state, and I am starting to see some of those patterns emerge.

Make a move, learn, and pivot as needed.

Mark my words though the 2020-decade will be as transformational, transitional, and pivotal as the 1940s.Bottom line--appreciation is where the money is made, consider cash flow a defensive play and way end of the chain of the reasons to invest in physical RE.

Determine investment strategies like buy-and-hold, short-term rentals, BRRRR, or partnerships, analyze numbers, consider creative financing options, build a strong team, and start small and pivot as needed.Good luck!

My role has taught me the importance of managing systems, understanding finances, and staying organized—skills I’m eager to apply to real estate investing.I’m a newbie in the real estate world but deeply motivated to learn and take action.

I do not call them mentors, but at the end of the day, the role they fill is to provide advice based on their expertise and their knowledge of where we are in our business. 

What's annoying is the woman (one of the "expert" who played "mentor" role) kept on asking him rhetorical questions to prove the value of their program and act like it's the only way for one to succeed in the real estate market.

Factors like real estate trends, property taxes, and competition also play a role.

Alright last thoughts - I'm pivoting.

Continuous evaluation of market trends also played a key role in setting the optimal sale price.
