•Deal evaluation: Simple, actionable advice or tools to help me confidently analyze and structure deals.I’m also looking to network with wholesale-minded agents, understand local buyers’ preferences (buy boxes), and explore mentorship or partnership opportunities that can help me gain momentum.I’m eager to learn, take action, and build something impactful for my family.

My advice is focus now on building your branding, business and client base in real estate.

I have one big parcel zoned at Santa Cruz County R-1-15 after building an ADU recently.

What worked for me was focusing on building strategic relationships with top tier people (quality partners) who could complement what I brought to the table—sales, management, and execution.When you are approaching sellers for creative financing, leading with a clear value proposition (and CONFIDENTLY) is key.

Beyond that, the joy of building something meaningful is priceless.3.Be prepared for isolation.

My agent was a very nice older lady, but no idea about investing, it all worked out and once the first rent checks started coming in started gaining some confidence.

Do you own the entire building and have other occupants complained of a problem? 

I personally know both @Jaclyn Cano and @Wale Lawal and can confidently say both are great and VERY Investor friendly!

Are there specific tools, presentations, or approaches that help them feel more confident in taking that first step?

You definitely can't just buy a building low down, do no work to it and keep old rents and expect to profit.
