How do you learn to underwrite - Marcellus McKinley
Episode description
Underwriting deals is one of the most important skills in real estate investing. Learning it by yourself, though, is not advisable. It’s actually inefficient and ineffective. 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.
