Back in my broker days I targeted to meet 3 investors a week. Some of those meetings ring in my subconscious from time to time.

Here& #39;s one that came up this week -

1/ A guy I met owns about 300 units in the heart of Miami Beach, prime product. All purchased btwn 2009-2014.
2/ He bought at an avg price of $90k-$110k per unit.

He explained to me that at that time everyone thought he was crazy bec he was overpaying based on comparable sales.

He said that he didn& #39;t care bec he saw the value and his underwriting made sense.
3/ There was a rental explosion that was brewing that no one saw coming.

But he figured it out. And he went ALL IN.

Fast forward a few years and you cannot buy multifam in Miami Beach under $175k a unit.
4/ Before you decide you are buying real estate, figure out why you are investing in real estate and what you are looking to accomplish.

Without that, you will be a follower last to the game. And you do not want to be a last into a cycle.
5/ If have a set strategy, and stay true to it, then when you see an opportunity coming, you& #39;ll know it& #39;s your moment.

**That& #39;s the biggest differentiation between a rookie investor and a seasoned investor.**
6/ My thought is that he probably made a 1st entry investment into the market, saw the rentals flying like hot cakes, and continued to build.

So he did have to make that initial dive.
