Look for neighborhoods where there are lots of people with bad hats and bad facial hair.

Look around these boards-- frauds popping up daily, misleading advertisements, posts about acquiring X amount of houses at Y cap rates only to be truly just wholesaling them, columbus cartel swarming, etc.

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.

You have $606 after tax dollars to spend on the rest of life's expenses, including investing, buying flowers for your significant other, cell phone bill, water/electric/vehicle expense/food/childcare/hair cuts/vacation. 

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.
