NETWORK!!!

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

.), spending time with my family, and always continuing to better myself whether that be reading books, being outdoors and exercising, networking, and/or sharpening my skills for my trade.I started my real estate journey in 2021 after a software business I was a partner in had a bad partnership breakup that saw me lose everything (financially). 

or even just doing some networking to try to help someone out. 

I'm in a small town with nobody to really network with on a regular basis.

This property I previously modeled is now active for $1.789M, if you check the model I was at $1.75M.

Hey Shawn - Highly suggest going to local meetups and joining investing groups on FB to build your local network.

That kind of networking plus honest cash-flow analysis can open more doors than simply chasing rumored off-market listings.Interestingly, I recently saw a property here in Phoenix (ARMLS #6757476) that sold for around $450K in October 2021, then resold in December 2024 for $1.8 million.. that’s an eye-popping $1.35 million jump in just three years.

i like the family connection but you really need a strong network to buy out of state.
