Coaching or mentorship in real estate investing can allow you to collapse time and "skip to the front of the line" by leveraging the experience and knowledge of those who have already achieved success in the industry.

I heard about bigger pockets from a friend of mine that has successfully built and rented multiple properties in our area.

I look forward to hearing more on your success. 

The most successful loans are those that do not procrastinate and get the appraisers In ASAP so you can get over any unexpected bump in the underwriting process.

Reading about successful people strengthened my resolve.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

Even if rents are trending up, if your tenant base can't make ends meet, the asset won't perform.

We will see more investors walk away because the properties aren't performing well, but other investors will pick them up and the quantity will remain high.Rates are anyone's guess.

You also do not want to be too cheap and leave money on the table.If you do all of that you will be well on your way to being successful.
