I just closed a 3-plex in St Pete a couple months ago with a client Ben Dugoni who just got married.

Some people (us included) keep our contractors close to the chest so it's easier to find banks and vendors (like carpet installation).

I found a cash buyer and we closed before the auction date.

The insurance companies force us to use it, so we pretty much have no choice in the matter.

I bought my first home in 2021, which was quite the roller coaster, and in 2022, I closed on a small piece of vacant land all by myself, despite some fears.

My current main focus is to build out my network, put together a team, and eventually close on a deal for my first multi-family property within the next year.

While it’s possible engaging in one of these programs can shorten the time required to become a “power” agent considerably, it also may be a gigantic waste of money if marketing efforts are engaged without waiting for the all important test results.One popular career tract being offered in collegiate business programs across the world right now is marketing data analytics - analyzing the results of test marketing campaigns and applying/interpreting these results to form an effective and profitable marketing program.The other choice is to engage one of the many companies that will set up a generic real estate agency website for you, with the usual stock photos as well as MLS feed, create a blog and tie it to the new website, and start posting information and answering questions are various social media sites.After getting your feet wet, you can purchase services such as SEO, or a PPC campaign, on a a la charge basis, and track the results using one of many analytical programs available online.

LITERALLY before my life blew up and I closed on 2 SFHs for STR on the same day! 

My brother just closed on his house in Italy.  3.3% fixed for 10 years. $235,000 euro loan.
