When I closed my first property, I realized how much I had underestimated the importance of building relationships, not just finding a good property. Networking with agents, investors, and mentors shaped the outcome far more than any market research I did. For anyone starting out: what’s one lesson you’ve learned in real estate that you wish you knew from the start?

One thing I’ve noticed in real estate: People don’t get stuck because of lack of strategy… They get stuck because they’re learning alone. You can watch all the videos and read all the books, but clarity comes from rooms where people are already doing what you want to do. Once I started asking questions, sitting in workshops, and actually applying what I learned, things clicked faster. If you’re here learning, you’re already on the right track. Curious, what strategy are you trying to understand better right now?
