Key Takeaways:

“One thing I learned being in a startup is there’s less clarity around roles.” – Scott Zandbergen

“ In the real estate world, there is a lot of testing and learning. I’m always using a learning mindset to try different approaches, different strategies, or ways that write ads to attract tenants to my properties. I’m always tweaking, and I’m always trying different process tweaks, different ways to screen my funnel when people are coming in. I learned that in a startup for sure.” – Scott Zandbergen

“I’m not worried too much about having to compete with fellow investors because, as I keep finding, there’s a real lack of good quality rental units in that market. So, I think as long as we’re delivering the right product, we are always finding good tenants that want to pay the prices that we’re asking.” – Scott Zandbergen

“You have to have a strong level of trust with who you’re working with. And because I’ve done several now where they’ve been home runs, I feel a lot more confident that going forward, I don’t stress over it maybe as much as I did the first few that I did.” – Scott Zandbergen

“And so my advice to people, like I mentor some people informally and younger folks on this now, and I always say, just do it. Take that first step because I promise you, the world will not set on fire if you try this. It’s not super easy, but it’s not rocket science either.” – Scott Zandbergen
