My oldest graduated from BSU (engineering) and has a stellar career, and my youngest went grade 7 - 12 here in Idaho so he got the full experience of what it's like to grow up in this great state. 

Hey Andrew, welcome to the Forums.That’s awesome you’ve been learning about real estate since high school—starting early will really pay off.

While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.

Currently we both work remotely and just graduated college.
