Three books that have really inspired me so far are Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, as well as The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down and How to Invest in Real Estate —both published by BiggerPockets.Since I’m not currently working a 9-to-5, I’ve been using this time to focus on learning and building a foundation for long-term success. 

👋For market rent comps, here are a few resources I’ve found useful:Zillow / Rentometer / Apartments.com – good for quick ballpark numbers.Local Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace – can give you the real “street-level” rents in your area.Property management companies – sometimes you can get insight directly from agents or PMs who know what’s actually renting.County or city property records – some areas publish historical rental data.BiggerPockets forums & networking – ask local investors; they often have current comps you won’t find online.Since you’re a commercial realtor starting out, combining online tools with local market intel will give you the most accurate picture.

RentCafe publishes a rental competitiveness index, that gives you some idea about rental demand.

It is very much so a world of LP's can make $ if and when GP's do, and if GP's don't, oh-well, sorry for your loss LP's, and onto the next....I only work with large public operators with a published track record that they do not wish to tarnish.
