When it comes to investing in real estate there are usually 3 important phases most of us go through.

1.) The education phase:

This is the phase where someone doesn’t have the full amount of capital yet but is looking to educate as they prepare to accumulate that capital to then invest. 

2.) The capital accumulation phase:

This is where individuals already have done education, have a better idea on what strategy they want to perform with their real estate investing and are laser focused on now accumulating the funds to invest.

And finally

3.) The investing phase:

This is where individuals have educated and accumulated the funds and are now comfortable enough to pull the trigger on their first deal.
