When I first started the search for my first real estate investment I was working well over 40 hours a week, sometimes 60-70 hours a week. I was a transmission lineman for 11 years which meant allot of long hours of work away from home.
But my true passion of real estate is what drove me to keep searching for the right deals. When I would get home the first thing I would do is see what is new on the market. Being consistent and keep searching is vital to finding a good deal. If you could be the first to put a bid in then you are already ahead of the game. So this is what I did for months until we landed our first deal. That first deal is what matters. Some people want to go slow and start with a duplex or four plex, which isn’t bad and if that is what your are comfortable doing then go for it. We wanted to start bigger than this so we can gain credibility and connections through larger deals. This is what will slingshot you into the industry and help you grow your portfolio. Analyzing a small complex is the same as a big complex, just on a different scale.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you are stuck and want to do bigger deals. We have the team and connections to get the deal done if it makes sense. Keep the search on, keep the energy high and make it happen.
