Sights set on Real Estate

Spring semester 2020 at High Point University was the last time I saw my graduating class go off for the Spring Break. I stayed at home to save money. I never knew that my college experience was officially over. A wave of uncertainty flooded my plans for the upcoming year. My brother and I were supposed to spend 3 months in Europe together over summer since it was only his freshman summer and it was my graduating summer. I wasn’t supposed to start my job in corporate America until mid-October with Gartner so I had all the time in the world to enjoy the next three months. With my plans and ambitions shattered I knew I was going to have to make the most of it. I began diving into books about finances, personal development, and real estate. I finally read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I completed The 4 Hour Workweek, I read Grant Cardone’s book on real estate, I read Russell Brunson’s Expert Secrets for online marketing, I bought several audiobooks and listened to them on my morning runs including Bidding-To-Buy, Game Changers, Upside, and Deep Work. I consumed hours and hours of YouTube videos self-educating myself on various topics of interest including space exploration, digital currency, real estate investing, guitar tutorials, economic material, and much more. I poured into my self-education waiting for something to click. After the comforts of the home began to settle in I knew I needed to get outside my comfort zone to really grow and gain real traction. I began applying for jobs all over Maryland and Florida. I landed on a wholesale brokerage in Tampa, Florida where I intended to learn with hands-on experience the ins and outs of real estate investing. What I knew as book knowledge but never really grasped was that by pursuing real estate full time I was going to be able to accomplish many more of my goals than by working in a corporate setting. I enjoyed the entrepreneurial aspects of the job and the upside potential that came with it. Tampa, Florida in general is a much more attractive location for a young professional anyhow. So with all things considered, I committed to staying with NetWorth Realty of Tampa and have been learning in real-time the tactics to successful real estate investing.

As a long term plan, I aim to learn as much about real estate investing as I can and eventually open up my own NetWorth wholesale brokerage in 2-3 years. The benefits of real estate are vast, getting invested now is going to lay the foundation for the life I want to live and provide for those around me. I look forward to bringing you along with me in the real estate journey and I hope to hear from you in the future!
