How did you acquire your first opportunity? What happened afterwards? Did you know or believe it was going to be a success?

My first property was a condo that I lived in, but found ugly. I fixed it up while I lived there, not intending for it to be a flip. I didn't know real estate investing existed at that time. But when I sold it for 50% more than I bought it for, I thought, this seems pretty awesome.
