Thank you! I certainly understand what you mean about the stakes. Feels very different practicing with your own licensed. I remember my first shift moonlighting, very feeling.

Most people in RE you find come out of something that got them the capital

I'm in healthcare (self employed) and plan to exit & go into RE development when I get bored & have the capital

The more cash you have, the exponentially better real estate gets, developing large scale projects isn't cheap

Guy probably made a ton in oil&gas. Having 250k cash you can only do so much. Having 2.5 mil cash on hand.. completely different story.

The first step to get in is $$$, but you can still make small profits before you get real capital.

If someone in RE wants to correct me I'd be curious to see your perspective

In RE you need money to make money, if it's not yours sometimes you can use other people's and they become investors in your vision/talent but it's hard to be good in it if you don't have much experience, you can have some lucky strikes but you can mess up real good real fast..

My father was in construction/renovation and selling sun rooms, started from scratch and worked his ass of to make it. All $ he made he mostly invested in forest land because having grown in the country side he knew this like the back of is hand and was good at managing it.

Many many years later we were able to use the lands he owns as a leverage to make RE development, I spent 15 years of my life getting good at it and I am still learning, started from the bottom doing everything, accounting, repairing clogged toilets, getting called in the middle of the night at Christmas for a leaking roof etc. Now have a team of 6+ employees and starting to have better quality of life.

Tip1: Remember it's a lot easier to ask someone to do something or comprehend there job when you been there.

Tip2: Getting key people around you is far more important than being good in everything. I don't have high studies but I have experience you can't learn anywhere.
