Because people skip this and jump right to techniques, we have a huge FAILURE rate of people wanting to be real estate “operators”.  

My advice is to stop listening to the people you overheard. 

Maybe that challenge would make the investing journey seem more "fun" but you are in a position that sooooo many people dream of. 

Some leases are very rudimentary, some appear to be copies of copies written years ago, a lot of people like to add additional provisions.

It's in the country so people looking in that area generally want peace and quiet.

We were able to get seller credit to help off-set the cost, but now we have heard of some people getting a free roof with the installation of solar.

People are always wanting to share success stories or failures to help teach someone. 

Some of those can be good, but most are just regurgitated versions of other people's courses.If you want to be successful in real estate investing, start with transparency.If you are a new investor, use it to your advantage.

Hi @Raechel ClevengerOne thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

Does that mean that I can only rent the place out to people that share the same finances?
