The biggest flaw many realtors make is not continuing their education in how to work with investors.

Who do you love and why? Who do you avoid and why?

We are inheriting a property with existing leases and existing tenants so we are jumping right in. Besides reading everyone's experiences on the forum, what practical books do you recommend for beginners in setting up...

Love that you and your wife already have a clear timeline and are putting in the education now—that will pay off big by 2027.

Their website, tools, and education gave me a head start on searching for a good property and the coach I was working with gave me some excellent pointers.

Engaging with other investors can provide real-world insights and opportunities.Workshops and Seminars: These can be invaluable for learning directly from industry professionals and for networking with fellow investors.Real Estate Software Tools: Familiarize yourself with tools like Zillow, Redfin, or PropertyRadar to analyze market trends and property values.Remember, the key is to continuously educate yourself and stay updated with market trends.

Quote from @James McGovern: In a sellers market I was strong in saying that inspections were for education purposes only.

You can learn a ton without spending $1 on education.

I value transparency, consistency, and learning from those ahead of me.I’m looking to:Network with experienced investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida.Learn best practices for evaluating deals, negotiating, and structuring wholesaling as a true business.Build long-term relationships with cash buyers who want steady access to off-market deals.What I bring:Strong research and problem-solving skills (tech/cybersecurity background gives me an OSINT edge for skip tracing & lead research).Persistence, adaptability, and a hunger to learn.A collaborative approach — I work with two dedicated partners so we can cover all angles of the business (research, seller contact, and buyer relations).My mission:Close my first few wholesale deals this year, reinvest into better tools and education, and become a trusted connector between sellers and buyers.

This is 101 to presenting such item of "education".
