From my experience, to succeed in multifamily investing, focus on networking through local meetups, online forums, and professional connections, leveraging your CPA skills to analyze deals and optimize deductions.

With a strong desire to learn, I’m focused on acquiring the skills needed to make strategic investments and build generational wealth through real estate.I’m is eager to dive into the fundamentals of the industry, from property evaluation to cash flow management, and is excited to learn from the experienced mentors and peers.Welcome to the community!

As a rookie I’m learning right now and saving but eventually I’d like to take action like Dave Meyer’s Start with Strategy, the three resources needed to start is Capital, Time , and Skill.

I think, the first, is understanding your goals, resources, and skill set.

Do not think you can just start an investment company with 15k (that is reserves only on one property).Work for the next couple of years while you all learn and use your skills to help build the foundation of a future company and leverage your relationship with the alumni to see some of his properties and learn.

One of the reasons why I’m bullish on real estate investing is because I am more afraid of the “what if I didn’t invest” rather than the “what if it goes wrong.”Yes, I could fail and lose everything I started with, but I’d still be farther along than if I never started at all.I’d have the knowledge, skills, and lessons that only come from taking action.Every misstep is a step forward when you’re learning and adapting.The real risk isn’t failure, it’s standing still and letting fear hold you back.Take action!!!

I played collegiate football at Montana State, where I learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and persistence—skills that I now bring to my journey in real estate.

And the problem with that is they took investments between then and there, and that to me is the difference between fraudulent behavior and risk management.ODC is not a scam, it's just a pied piper who was all luck no skill from their historical success.

Whenever my kids show an interest in something productive, I try to use that opportunity to teach them a skill that they can take with them.
