Quote from @Jason Anderson: "I'm late to the real estate game at my age."

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you start; you just need to take that first small step when the right opportunity comes.It’s not about luck or timing it’s about discipline, creativity, and time in the game.

Development?

But it’s a reminder that “buying at the top” with minimal skin in the game can hurt when the market shifts, even slightly.Early signs of trouble or short-term noise in specific metros?

A good friend of mine started a property maintenance company in Brooklyn, NY (super competitive market) and grew his database by showing up to development sites, following investors and developers on social media, introducing himself to local property owners, posting his day to day on Instagram, and following up with his database regularly.I also agree with everything @David Peschio and @Drew Sygit suggested here!

Thank you for sharing  Daniel, for me, real estate has been about playing the long game.

With over 10 years of experience in real estate data, property insights, and market trends, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how accurate, timely data helps investors uncover real opportunities and make informed decisions.I’m here to learn, share insights, and build meaningful connections with others who are serious about growing in real estate.

Thanks,Cody Nice work staying organized, Cody — you’re already ahead of the game by separating accounts and thinking about scalability early.You’re right that having 20+ individual accounts can get hectic fast.

Sh 130 and Mopac Expressway is a game changer for Hutto and that area.

You can still play the game, it just looks a little different.
