Front Office (Your brand, website/landing page, social media. outreach, events and conferences. 2.

You probably don’t want a housemate making a ton of noise in the kitchen cooking a 5 course meal while another housemate is trying to concentrate on an important conference call.

Regular 1-1.5hr long phone conference meetings with two specialists that were assigned to us (and we still keep in touch with as questions arise to this day).

I see that you've already signed up :) Another great event that has already been mentioned is the Deal Maker 2024 Conference (https://elitedealmakers.com/); that's coming up in a couple of week and is hosted by Jim Ingersoll.

I'm still playing catch up from the conference.

Am I able to have business deductions related to my real estate investment such mileage to visit my property which is 100+ miles from where I live, real estate conferences, real estate books, property management, etc?

Or go to a conference sponsored by one of the organizations that does them (PitBull has one in AZ coming up next week), if you want to learn about the lending world. 

The small caucus that gathered at our inaugural annual conference shared ideas to bring the profession into the mainstream and safeguard its position in the larger finance market.Perhaps the most crucial idea to come out of that conference was the need for a new term to define their vision for the industry and its future: not “hard money” and “hard money lenders” but “private money” and “private lenders.”

We read a lot of books, attended conferences, etc. but I think the most important thing we did in the beginning was consistently attending a multifamily investor networking group.

Travel to conference cost me $5k per week so always assumed id need a lot to purchase abroad and own for minimum of 5 years.
