Real estate investing can be an amazing way to build wealth. While it offers many opportunities and can make people a lot of money, it can take some time.
I have been investing in real estate for almost 20 years and success did not come overnight. It took years for me to find my niche and really build wealth, but I also started before there was so much information on being a successful real estate investor. I learned mostly from trial and error and a few books.
I have seen other investors take years as well or become successful in a few months. It is pretty rare that someone becomes an overnight success in real estate but there are many things you can do to shorten the journey to success.
