Hey Real Estate Academy! I am Julie, and I am excited to be joining as an admin alongside April! My job is simple. Help keep this space active, valuable, and laser focused on what matters most for YOUR business. A little about me: 🏠 Private money lender and real estate investor 📍 Originally from Sarasota, FL but currently living and working out of my van traveling the country! Real estate and private lending have given me the freedom to work from anywhere. To build a life completely on my own terms. And that freedom started with one thing: Consistent lead generation. Without leads nothing else matters. No deals. No capital. No freedom. April built this community around solving exactly that and that is exactly why I am here. Before I do anything else I want to hear from YOU. Drop your answer in the comments in one line: Where are you RIGHT NOW in your real estate journey and what is the ONE thing standing between you and your next level? I personally read and respond to every comment. Let's go! 🔥 Do not miss this Wednesday at 3:30pm EST. April has a guest joining us who is going to share exactly how he generates real estate leads through social media. Details dropping soon. 🔗 https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87105007205?pwd=966xaopMI5fyecfqRz6JAJIc2aZGv3.1 PS: That is me somewhere in Colorado on a recent hike. Zoom in and spot the mountain goat photobombing me! 🐐 This is the life real estate has given me. We got this!! Julie

Hey everyone, super excited to be here. Wanted to jump in with something that's been on my mind, how are you all sourcing your leads? I know there are services to purchase leads but that can get a bit costly, anybody had luck with other approaches? I've had some friends mention doing your own lead sourcing from public records or web scraping but im still learning and didnt know how successful that may be. Curious if anyone else has had any luck with these alternative approaches. Any insight or feedback of your experiences would be much appreciated and I hope you're all having a great day for now!

There was a time when my world revolved around a 9–5 job. Like many people, I believed that working harder and climbing the ladder was the safest path to success. But over time, I realized that if I wanted more freedom and financial security, I needed to think differently. That realization led me into real estate. I spent years learning the business, acquiring knowledge, building relationships, and understanding how wealth is created through assets. Real estate became my foundation and taught me lessons that changed my perspective on money forever. Yet there was another opportunity that kept appearing in front of me: ecommerce. The truth is, I ignored it for years. Not because it wasn't a good opportunity, but because of the mixed opinions surrounding it. Some people claimed it was oversaturated. Others said it was too risky. I listened more to the noise than my own curiosity. Then in February 2022, I decided to stop relying on other people's assumptions and experience it for myself. What made the difference was that I didn't try to become an ecommerce expert overnight. Instead, I partnered with people who already understood the business. I chose a Done-For-You (DFY) ecommerce model, allowing me to leverage the experience, systems, and knowledge of professionals who had already traveled the road I was just starting on. That decision accelerated my learning and growth significantly. One lesson I've learned in business is that you don't always have to build everything yourself. Sometimes the fastest path forward is partnering with people who have already solved the problems you're trying to figure out. Too many people spend years trying to master every detail on their own, when the right partnership can shorten the learning curve and help them avoid costly mistakes. Today, ecommerce complements my real estate business perfectly. It provides an additional stream of income, diversification, and opportunities that I would have completely missed had I continued listening to the opinions of people who had never actually built an online business themselves.

Hi, I'm new to this platform and interested in connecting with people involved in real estate deals. I'm looking to learn, network, and explore opportunities in buying, selling, investing, or property development. I look forward to meeting experienced professionals and building valuable connections. Thank you
