And it makes me think about building a real estate business. There are times when you’ve been on the phone for...

It’s a misconception to think you can’t get into real estate without investing your own money. Many people start off investing with money from others, specifically from private money or hard lenders, by double closing, or with transactional funding. Being able to invest with outside money requires a solid network. People don’t lend money to those they don’t trust, so work hard on building up your...

Small wins are so important, when you’re new to real estate or trying to scale. You have to stay consistent with your efforts and maintain your focus to weather through tough times.

All it takes is one ‘yes’ out of a sea of ‘no’s’ to put you on the path to real...
