@Ben Syzek,Congrats at the decision to start learning about REI. 

I have learned a ton about flipping and now have current deals going on.  

Would be interested in connecting to learn more about your experience. 

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense. 

Lol, I'm  not sure i was very helpful, more anecdotal lol.I learned to estimate from other contractors many years ago.I found labor unit books from college bookstores.

Quote from @James Wise:I need to dig up a podcast that I listened to about 2 months ago with Tom Ferry, and the person was giving all the states, You are pretty close to that number on 5 days or more.. 95% range, the industry is very off kilter these days with the low activity of 2023 and 2024 that most people licensed just retired, gave up, or thought they were going to do something and never could get a sale due to bad leadership.

Would love to connect and learn more about your goals!

Lessons learned?

I took many courses before actually taking action on my first investment and I still have self-doubt when attempting new strategies and I have failed.Second, anyone who has not experienced self-doubt has not pushed themselves into the uncomfortable place of trying something new and potentially failing but learning a great lesson making them stronger.You are capable Robel.
