I am entrepreneur at heart who spends his day working as an IT & Marketing consultant who is interested in learning how to build a real estate portfolio.

-dealing with the new federal and state laws (CFPB, SAFE Act, TILA, RESPA, Dodd Frank, etc)-planning and expanding your business-start by being a technician; then move to manager, then move to entrepreneur (delegating and motivating); The entrepreneur works at the enterprise level, the manager at the business level, and the technician at the practice level. 

I am 26 years old, happily married, self-employed entrepreneur.

In life and real estate, we sometimes forget that we can control our emotions, one of the valuable attributes needed to stay sane as a real estate entrepreneur.

I would second Michael Hamby I joined COREE (Central Ohio Real Estate Entrepreneurs) last month.

Investment real estate is valued through cap ratesYou take the cap rate and then divide it by the true earnings of the property (NOI) to get the valueNOI = $100k / 0.04% = $2,500,000Every dollar you add to the NOI generates $25 dollars in valueEvery dollar you subtract from the NOI reduces value by $25 dollarsAs an entrepreneur that's exciting because NOI is mostly in your control!

In shark tank, the entrepreneur probably doesn't have another "genius" idea.

Having said that, they want a bigger piece of the pie than they are getting (which is 10% ARP) They are not unhappy with the returns but like most entrepreneurs when they see an opportunity to grow and earn more they want to seize it.

My hope is to become less of a technician and more of  an  entrepreneur.
