Quotables “Sometimes it’s really hard to get started, but the second that I made that offer and had it under contract, it’s like the mental block is gone.” “The big thing is the conversations that you’re going to have everyday, it’s on-the-job training. I was learning to be a better investor and I didn’t even know it.” “Help someone else get started and believe me, it’s gonna keep going. You’re gonna learn so much more just from teaching as well.” Links Instagram: Brian Valdivia https://www.instagram.com/bval9/ Website: Beltway Lending https://beltwaylending.com/ Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Instagram: RCN Capital https://www.instagram.com/rcn_capital/ Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/ Email: RCN Capital info@rcncapital.com…
