Set a clear goal for your first property, find a mentor, and keep educating yourself—you're on the right path!

Would love to hear an update on your Real Estate journey, @Kyle Barnhart. 

Here's a video with some tips, but I recommend you watch several videos, read some blogs, and educate yourself on what to look for in a brokerage:

It's an exciting journey that can offer both financial rewards and personal satisfaction.

I am wondering if my first steps (past the education part) is to build a network of people who know, like, and trust me through posting content like newsletters, articles, podcasts, doing webinars, going to events (aka build my brand), or, should I first find a deal and then raise capital?

A friend of mine had a similar journey - they turned their old home into a rental property and soon realized they loved managing tenants and exploring ways to add value.

@Nathan Deutsch what are your next 3 steps in your investing journey?

Looking forward to the journey ahead.... 

Now focus on what you, not what the real estate investment community, want to do after you educate yourself on both sides.If you are interested in selling, I know plenty of individuals looking for a similar home in the Scottsdale area as an investment property and I think you could get a great return right now.

The intent of getting a sales agent license is to educate myself in Real Estate and create some additional income.If your relationship is such that you need to hide your license, you’d be better off with a different working relationship.
