We are parents to 1 baby boy and 2 dogs, I am an avid golfer, I'd give myself a B+ chef, and a proud member of hog nation.

That’s exactly the mindset we’re trying to adopt as we keep learning!

I think you have the right mindset to find properties where the numbers are better even if that means you're not getting the top choice of the neighborhood you want to live in.

That really challenges the “more doors = better” mindset that a lot of new investors (including me) tend to gravitate toward.I like what you said about focusing on people over properties — that’s something I’m learning more and more as I research out-of-state investing.

I've been in a few markets and have invested in low income all the way to upper middle income and for me the hardest was dealing with the low income mindset... that is not for me.

His estate was not probated as he did not owe for anything and all of my parents' properties and accounts were addressed before their passing and a will was in place leaving all to my sister and myself. 

@Evan AlexakosEvan, props to you for wanting to take action early—that mindset will serve you well.

Excited to see you diving in with a clear mindset.

I like your mindset—starting with learning and connecting is the best foundation.
