//Key Lessons

1. You don't need $50K—just a strategy: The myth that you need a massive bankroll to get started is busted. Learn how creative financing, partnerships, and a little hustle can get you in the game.
2. Your network is your net worth: Can't invest solo? Pool resources with friends, form an investment club, or partner with a VA loan holder to break into real estate.
3. House hacking: Live for free and build wealth: Rent out rooms, buy a duplex, or turn your home into an income-generating asset. Your future self will thank you.
4. Sweat equity beats a fat wallet: No money? No problem. Trade your skills (or labor) for a share in the deal and learn the game from the inside.
5. Even dirt can make you rich: Buy land on seller financing, resell it, and watch your cash grow. Less competition, lower risk, and big potential rewards.
6. Investing in yourself is the ultimate move: Learn high-value skills like sales, marketing, or real estate investing, and you'll always have a way to generate wealth.
