I’ve been investing in real estate for a while now, and while I’m not quite at financial independence yet, I’m curious about the less obvious lessons from those who’ve made it. We all hear the usual advice live below your means, invest early but what was something that caught you off guard? Maybe a mindset shift, a strategy that didn’t work the way you expected, or even a personal habit that turned out to be more important than you realized? Would love to hear what surprised you most on the journey.
