You don’t know what you don’t know, after all.That is why it’s crucial for beginners to build relationships in this space. Aside from being a wealth-generating vehicle, real estate is a team sport that you play with like-minded individuals. Investors like Marcellus McKinley, who is serving in the Air Force, will be better off surrounding themselves with people who know more than they do. [00:01 - 02:20] Opening Segment I welcome today’s guest, Marcellus McKinleyActive in Air ForceStarted in the residential space for real estate [02:21 - 10:29] Underwrite in Real Estate Marcellus recalls how he became a limited partner How to underwrite properly in real estate Developing relationships with brokers [10:30 - 19:55] Unconscious Incompetence Bad real estate advice you should hear now...and not do later What you should know about the Net Operating Income What is “unconscious incompetence?”[19:56 - 25:37] Closing SegmentWhere to start in real estate? Find Marcellus at the links belowFinal wordsTweetable Quotes:“At the end of the day, though, the game is really building track record like you would in anything else.” - Jerome Myers “Self-educating is the most inefficient and ineffective way to get into this space because there’s so much that you don’t know that you don’t know.” - Jerome Myers Resource mentioned:Multifamily Missteps: The Third Time is the Charm - Bo GoebelConnect with Marcellus on LinkedIn. Learn more about Myers Methods of Multifamily Investing: http://bit.ly/37u6oK3Register for Myers Methods Multifamily Investing Course: https://bit.ly/37iozkBLearn more about the Mid-Atlantic Multifamily Conference: https://bit.ly/2V7SlCCSupport the showAre you feeling overwhelmed with Multifamily deal analysis?
