Hey BP - does anyone mind sharing an example of their real estate professional logbook?

Great question, and in my experience the biggest invisible killer of cold calling pipelines isn't lead volume it's contact rate quietly degrading over time without anyone noticing.What happens is you start strong: numbers are fresh, answer rates are decent, pipeline feels healthy.

I am freshly 20 years old and am probably in over my head.

Investors buy fresh grey paint that's hiding disaster plumbing—like duct tape on 60-year-old galvanized pipes. 

I was hoping someone on here could help answer some questions and provide some examples for deals that they have done recently?

We’ll walk the property, talk through pricing, and I’ll usually mention a few things they should do before putting it on the market.Things like checking nearby new builds, running fresh comps, getting an inspection done first, staging, making sure lien waivers are collected.Almost every time the response is something like “yeah that makes sense, I’ll probably do that.”Then a few weeks later the house hits the market and none of it got done.A month or two goes by and suddenly the house is sitting, price reductions start happening, buyers start asking for credits, or a deal falls apart after inspection.And honestly it’s frustrating to watch because most of those problems were preventable.Most of the time the issue isn’t even the renovation itself.

Your friend's property is now competing against properties with fresh capital and refinance cash backing them.

Im reaching out to hear your stories and strategies of how you found deals when you were fresh to real estate investing for buy and hold properties.

It was freshly reno'd when they moved in, and well documented in photos.

That's a clean portfolio to work with for a fresh start.
