Remembering that conversation, I decided to reach out to him.

Always introduce yourself as ..John or maybe Reagan is better....Maybe like hi I'm Reagan like the President, your friendly neighborhood realtor....that's how they will remember you and you want them to remember you. 

Remember, you don’t have $965 of cash to invest, you have equity, which will cost you money to access.

I remember for my first house that was my goal and I house hacked that home for a few years. 

I remember a buddy who once represented a client in the Santa Cruz Mountains.. this client turned an old barn into a shared art studio and invited local artists to rent the space, which ended up boosting inccome in ways they never imagined.The Redwood market can be tricky because of environmental restrictions, zoning quirks, and limited inventory.

Remember when land buyers pick a target, they have TONS of work to do getting that property from dirt to payday, so they know their purchase choices, and they have a war chest usually stacked up ready to go.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

Remember, successful asset management is the difference-maker in real estate investing.Two properties could look identical, but how they are managed is the real game-changer

Best of luck on your journey, and remember, delayed gratification is your best friend in this business!

I think I remember hearing before that they want their agents to focus on being agents and not do other things.
