Real estate is a team sport. If you try to do everything yourself, you are going to burn out fast. That is where Level Two deals come in. Instead of hunting for every lead yourself, you can work with people who already have deals under contract.

Every investor wants to find the fund that beats the market. The one that’s managed by a genius. The one that spotted the next big thing before anyone else. The holy grail of investing.
