Looking to Learn – Willing to Shadow, Listen, and Grow (Northern CA)

[William Miller]

Hey everyone,

I’m 35 years old and own multiple properties. I got into real estate thinking I had it all figured out — but recently I’ve realized I didn’t. The more I’ve been reading, listening, and networking, the more I’ve opened my eyes to what it actually means to be an investor with a long-term mindset.

Right now, I’m doing a full reset. I’ve been diving into books like The Millionaire Real Estate Investor and The Richest Man in Babylon, running BRRRR deal numbers daily, and even considering selling or restructuring some of my properties to better align with cash flow and appreciation goals. I'm knocking out debt, tightening up my financials, and laser-focused on learning and growing.

I work full time, but I’m motivated, and I show up. I know a lot of people don’t want to ask for help or are too prideful to admit they need a mentor I’m not one of them. I’d rather learn the right way from someone who’s already been through it than make costly mistakes trying to figure it out alone.

If anyone in Northern California (Paradise/Chico/Sacramento) is open to letting me shadow a deal, walk a property, or just sit down for a coffee and talk shop, I’d be extremely grateful. I’m not asking for handouts — I’m here to learn, help where I can, and build real connections with people actually doing this.

Thanks for reading,
Will

Hey @William Miller

Good for you being willing to learn and adjust as you're finding out more about what a long-term investment mindset looks like. I'm an investor-focused Realtor in Memphis, and my clients employ the BRRRR strategy constantly. There's always more to learn!

Dean Harris and our broker, Douglas Skipworth both own a lot of single family investment properties in Memphis and host a bi-weekly podcast that dives into many investment topics, one of those being the BRRRR strategy. I can send over a link to one of those podcast episodes if that would be helpful.

Best of luck!
