Chatting with a few professionals in the field will be the best way to ramp up your understanding quickly.

I'm a newbie  i think mistakes are bound to happen, moving forward lesson learn I just need to be more professional rather than personal couldn't take compassion out of my system  and paid dearly for it. 

I've always loved real estate but like in Brandon's book my parent's were not keen on the idea so I unfortunately listened went to undergrad then went to professional school.  

Working with two different professionals in two different locations will prevent either form being able to see your big picture and plan/adjust accordingly. 

Facebook is a great place to get leads through boosted posts giving value, but you need to spend a lot of time building your business page and website so that they show you as a professional agent who knows what they are doing.One final note on Facebook advertising - unless you are directing a Facebook ad to a dedicated lead capture page and CRM, you are wasting your money.

Is this true???

I'm starting my journey as a part-time real estate investor (current managing two doors) and it'd be great to meet other young professionals who are investing either in or out of state. 

You will have to make a decision with your broker about the true prospects of both releasing AND raising rents at the end of the term; if the market corrects and we see vacancy rates rise you may need to reduce rent just to keep the existing tenant in place.

and very true about always being another deal... but this is helpful to figure out regardless, since I bet this will come up from time to time!

Fellow Pocketies, from the start use professionals.
