Attention new investors: As I’ve immersed myself in the BiggerPockets forums, I’ve observed an extreme emphasis placed on asset protection by those entering the business but their approach and where they decide to allocate their time and resources is misplaced.

When the cat leaves, the mice will play".Most folks that invest out of state are cat's that are never present.So the realtors, contractors and property manager (The mice), are always playing and making a fortune doing so.You really need to spend a lot of time in establishing the right relationships in order to make it work from afar.Picking a market, visiting it regularly and immersing yourself in it non stop.Having family can also help but I decided a long time ago to not mix business with family and friends as it can get heart breaking when things don't turn out well.Wishing you much success

Immerse yourself in learning about land investing.

Back home finding deal getting my real estate license and immersing myself in that world or to be stuck fishing for the big checks to invest with.

It takes intentional placement of oneself to immerse in those conditions.

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,I recently transitioned into specializing in multifamily real estate investments and have been immersed in learning about the complexities and nuances of this space.

Hi Kiefer,It's great that you're immersing yourself in learning and have already taken the first step with your duplex.

Now that I have acquired 7 units, I thought I might immerse in this great community. 

Right now my focus is simply to learn all I can and connect with people who are immersed in this world.

Now it’s all about taking those first steps and immersing yourself in the real estate world.
