Its all about the mindset.

It didn’t magically get me a deal, but the connections, mindset shift, and confidence I left with made a huge difference.If you’re someone who thrives off learning in-person and wants to build long-term relationships with people in the same boat (or further ahead), it’s 100% worth considering.

If you're miserable at 22 and don't change your mindset, that's a long sad life. 

With the right mindset and a bit of financial discipline, you truly can achieve financial freedom through real estate, potentially in around 10 years.

Find your area's 1-2 reputable hard money lenders, and ask them what's necessary to qualify for a BRRRR loan (credit, cash, assets).Find out the terms and go from there.You may need a co-signer like a parent. 

After cursing their name (privately), I shift quickly into a “save the deal” mindset.

The parents divorced and the dad put his share of the property into a trust that was to go to the 2 sons.

Prop 19 eliminated the old parent-child exclusion for rental properties.

That shift in mindset changes how you underwrite. • The collateral still matters.

That’s the right mindset to grow in real estate.
