Be flexible and keep an eye out for opportunities, as they often come when you least expect them.

After catching the investing bug, I flipped my first property and turned it into a rental—which I am still renting today!

Quote from @Jaša Rot: Hi guys,my name is Jaša and i have recently read a book about banking that opened not only my eyes regarding financing but my whole brain...

Keep your first deal simple, and don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help or want a second set of eyes on a deal!

However, 95% of it is verbatim what you posted here and I think that's hilarious, as if they are the first person to think of that angle and they're about to catch a bunch of millionaires in their brilliant web. 

Market Conditions Keep a close eye on the market, both locally and in terms of refinancing opportunities.

I have a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful old historic inn that I've had my eye on for about 15 years that just came on the market.

The closing team will keep you up to date as you move toward closing and I will keep my eye on it as well.  

Incorporate what if you die, what if you or a partner want to sell how do you value, opening bank accounts, contract signing, etc.  

You can only play games for so long.Chances are your next door neighbor is an IRS agent and turns you in when your tenants blocks their drive or some other random event disturbing your IRS neighbor.ADU catches fire and your insurance won't cover you, because it was an illegal and unpermitted structure.The city inspector told the last guy not to build or rent it, and is now pissed and wants to make an example of you and just red tags the whole property and no one can occupy for the next 1-2-3 years while you wait for a hearing.Then when you get the hearing, "staff" recommends you tear the whole structure down, and if you still want an ADU, you can apply for a permit and rebuild it.Your tenant quits paying rent and won't move out and you can't evict them, because there is no valid lease and they're just your "roommate".Probably a dozen other bad things can happen to you when you do stuff like this.
