It's not very approachable from the outside. The people who do deals never talk about the deals they do. Sharing isn't common.
It's tough to learn unless you were born into a real estate family or got lucky with a mentor.
So to learn how to talk to a banker or what makes a good deal or how to structure a deal is damn near impossible.
The people who know it well (like crypto) talk about it in a complex way.
So newbies have no idea what the insiders are talking about.
I've learned more sharing how I think about real estate on Twitter in 12 months than I could have out just doing deals for 12 years.
I get feedback from a lot of smart people I respect.
My mistakes were pointed out. Great ideas were shared.
And I got a lot smarter.
But I have thick skin. Twitter has a lot of jerks. I get why nobody shares.
If I did a questionable deal I would have been crucified. Its only a matter of time until I end up getting cancelled or I lose a deal with 250k impressions on everything I say.

Being active on twitter over the past 12 months has easily been the highest value work (in real dollars) of any single period of my entire career (next 30 yrs included).
2 hours per day. 14 hours per week.
The highest ROI of any work I’ve ever done or ever will do.
