In real estate, you need three things: Time, Skill, and Capital

[Devin James]

But most of us rarely have all three at once.

When I started in College at 18 (Photo), I had time—but no capital and no skill.

So I found mentors who had the capital and skill, but not enough time.

I offered to cold call multifamily owners for them—and soaked up everything I could.

A few years later, you hit that mid-career stage:

You’ve built the skill, started building capital—but time becomes limited.

Eventually, I see many people graduate to becoming lenders or passive investors—once they have the capital and skill, but no longer want to spend their time in the day-to-day.

Your value shifts with each stage.

The key is knowing where you are now, and who you should align with to grow.
