Good luck on your journey!

Although the journey has been worth it, I've sacrificed quite a bit from a personal lifestyle perspective, relationships, etc.

I “luckily” caught the wave of property appreciation between 2020-2022 which set the foundation of my investment journey.- I was scared to drop out of law school In 2021 and go all in on REI, I’m super happy with my decision.Now, whenever I’m scared/nervous, I take that as a sign that I should probably do it, and that it’s room for growth.Yes, sometimes it will be a mistake, but that’s how you learn.4) Value Relationships over everythingGood relationships will bring you more joy and take you farther than being selfish and/or greedy.What principles do you live by?

Of these professional wholesalers, nearly all of them will be well capitalized professional real estate investors or large businesses doing hundreds of deals annually with many years in and around every part of the real estate investment journey.

It's a long-term learning process, but an interesting and often profitable journey - best of luck to you!

Keep pushing and good luck to you on your journey!
