You can work hard, but if you’re in the wrong circles, you’ll stay stuck.I started showing up at networking events, joining investor meetups, and connecting with people who were doing bigger deals than me.

Alot of the training teaches you about apps, and events coming in the future that are really commercials because ofcourse you have to pay extra for them. they have so many different parts and systems for instance I just found out today that the one on one coaching i thought I signed up for where they fund you deals and you split 50/50 has 3 parts.

I watched the flipping Vegas stars do that exact same thing at a Vegas event they get up there for 30 minutes out of the 3 day event..

I’ve found that leveraging local networking events, investor meetups, and even direct outreach through social media can help bridge that gap.One challenge I had to get creative with recently was navigating a complex title issue on a property.

Highly suggest checking out the local meetup groups: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...Our monthly meetup is tomorrow, so that might be a great place to start! 

Good to try out a few different meet ups with a few different topics and event structures and see what vibe fits you best.

Aside from the podcasts and books, I’d also recommend attending some networking events.

Engaging with fellow investors at networking events and online forums can offer helpful guidance.Good luck!

Refinancing does not create a taxable event since it's debt.
