For me, I’ve seen new investors worry endlessly about “finding the perfect deal” or overanalyzing numbers before even getting started.But the truth is, experience and partnerships often teach more than perfection ever could.So, if you could go back and give your beginner self one piece of advice — what would it be?

@Christopher Rubio sigh, sometimes I feel like I'm in an endless loop of wash, rinse repeat...It all statistically depends on the Property Class => Tenant Class!
