Hey everyone, I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Utah, studying Finance/Real Estate, exploring real estate, and currently diving headfirst into the industry by purchasing land and developing 9 single-family homes from scratch.

Now that I'm beginning to make a good wage at work, I am looking to learn, network with people in the area plus around the state, and fingers crossed house hack in the next couple of years to begin building equity and wealth.

if you want to know how much you'll need, call a couple lenders and ask-if you house hack just a couple of times, you'll own more real estate than 97% of people-good luck

I read Bid to Buy, and I'm currently reading Real Estate Riches.

Just sayin’And Real Estate Professional, why not just REP.

I am wondering if there are people here that invest in european real estate

Quote from @Alberto Gutierrez: Hello everyone I had a quick question and wanted to get some peoples opinions.

I’ve been looking to attend (and possibly speak at) more real estate and investor-focused conferences — especially those that cover midterm rentals, corporate housing, or property management trends.Networking and staying on top of industry shifts are a big part of how I grow and help others in this space, but I realized I might be missing out on some great upcoming events.So I figured I’d ask the community:- What real estate conferences, summits, or meetups are you planning to attend soon?

Pick ONE strategy to commit to for Q1.House hack, BRRRR, long-term rentals, STR — it doesn’t matter which one, as long as you focus.The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to learn everything at once.You don’t need to close a deal before the year ends to “start.”Your real start is building the systems that will support your first deal — and the ones after that.Finish this year organized, not rushed.You’ll thank yourself in a few months.For those just getting started:What’s one thing you want to set up before 2026 begins?
