Most private equity opportunities come through networks rather than open markets, so connecting with experienced operators and other investors is critical.Second, understand the structure and terms.

The thing that holds most beginners back is much simpler:They don’t have a clear plan for the first 90 days.I’ve seen so many new investors jump from podcasts to YouTube to forums, soaking up information but never building an actual roadmap.And without a plan, everything feels overwhelming — markets, terms, lenders, strategy choices… all of it.You don’t need a perfect strategy to start.You just need a simple direction:Pick one strategy to learn (BRRRR, STR, house hack, etc.)Pick one market to study deeplyPick one daily or weekly habit you’ll stick to (analyzing deals, networking, saving, whatever moves you forward)Clarity beats intensity every time.The investors who succeed aren’t the ones who know the most — they’re the ones who stay consistent long enough to make their first move.If you’re overwhelmed, simplify.Start with the next 90 days, not the next 10 years.For those who are just getting started — what’s the one thing you’re focusing on first?

Quote from @Elealeh Fulmaran: Treat networking like deal flow: show up with a clear buy box, recent comps you’ve worked, and proof you can perform, then ask seasoned investors what they’re buying right now and why.

Hi everyone! I'm new to real estate investing and focusing on wholesaling and I'm ready to connect with fellow investors. Looking forward to sharing insights and exploring opportunities together! 

I’ve been connecting with a lot of active investors lately, and it’s great to see how everyone structures their deals differently.

As a civil engineer and owner of a firm that works on a wide range of projects across Texas, Nebraska, and Colorado, I have learned the value of thorough due diligence before breaking ground.If you are doing ground up construction, make sure you understand what you are getting into with the city or county where you plan to build.

My last 4 purchases were off market and none where from a wholesaler (one was a bird dog (from owner but paid the bird dog), one purchased direct from owner via networking, 2 purchased from estates via networking).  

Is there a reason you're looking so far and wide, or are you just looking for good deals?
