So, I feel its building calluses for the next deal that's larger... and the next... and the one after that.

But if you feel like you can learn the same skills on your own through experience and other resources, saving that extra tuition for your first investment might be the better move.

Competing with Experienced ProfessionalsNew agents may feel overwhelmed by more established competitors in the industry.Solution: Focus on your unique strengths, provide excellent customer service, and embrace modern technology to differentiate yourself.The challenges of being a new realtor or investor are real, but they’re not insurmountable.

If the answer is yes, then it's a no brainer to make minimum payments on your 2.8% interest rate mortgage, and use the funds that you would have paid extra to pay it down faster, to either invest in more real estate, the market, or anywhere else where you can get a ROI > 2.8%.If the answer is no, then feel free to aggressively pay it down as fast as possible, to become debt-free faster, and just have a large amount of money in savings or to splurge with.The bottom line is that your 2.8% mortgage is GOOD debt.

Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear your story and see how we can grow together!
