I just did a podcast where we discussed this and how people are in for rude awakenings when its takes 3x as long and costs 2x as much to renovate from afar if you are not there on an almost daily basis.

I am slowly building my people around me and gaining knowledge daily.

Again circling back to my previous post, proactive asset protection relates to  the way you operate your business on a daily basis.

At 36 years old, I bring a passion for football and music into my daily life, which keeps me motivated and balanced.I’m eager to connect with fellow investors, share insights, and learn from each of your experiences.

CCIM, SIOR, and all of the other designations you can amass never teach you how to pick up the phone and prospect for leads, track down growing/expanding businesses to convert to clients, how to manage tenants in a retail strip center, or do the myriad of other daily activities required to be a good commercial investment broker/owner.

I would get about 20 leads daily and about 1% of those would lead to a property closing out.

I've even had the chance to secure cash-out refinances between 6.00-6.50% lately - keep an eye on the 5-year treasury, as 720+ credit and $100k+ properties will be eligible for rates that are about 2.5% over that daily treasury rate. 

This data was from 2023, so I checked online and found that google says 70+ people move to the Triangle area daily in 2024.

@Ross Hayes If the owner of a cat or cats regularly (every week) changes the litter box and scoops it daily for waste you should not have odor from cats.

Some have quotas, some don't.Like anything in real estate the gatekeepers of the knowledge are the people in the market on a daily basis.
