I'm 41 now and I still make the same dumb mistakes.

But of course that comes with a lot of extra work as well as risk (especially if they are new and likely to make a bunch of  expensive, rookie mistakes).The more net worth and income someone has, the more options they have.

I think that was a tactical mistake, especially if you weren't laid off, or separated from your employer by means outside of your control (restructuring, firing, etc.). 

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

I am happy to share all our mistakes, tools, tips, tricks if you are interested.

The mistake I also made was not completely finishing the house before listing.

I made a mistake when I bought this house.

So if you're looking to get your feet wet, it would be best to make your mistakes on a smaller scale. 

Even if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

That's where you'll start to make connections, learn from other people's successes--and mistakes--and get referrals for trades and resources you will need.Attend the (virtual for now) meetings, soak up knowledge like a sponge and connect with like-minded investors.
