Key Takeaways
- Your first deal should be simple — a stabilized cash-flowing property where you learn operations without too much risk.
- Don't over-leverage your first acquisition — conservative debt gives you room to learn and survive mistakes.
- Pick one asset class and become an expert — self-storage, small bay industrial, MHP — depth beats breadth.
- The biggest barrier to your first deal isn't capital, it's conviction — you have to commit to the process and make offers.
