· Leverage creative financing strategies like subject-to offers and lease-options to acquire properties with little upfront capital.

· Implement a consistent lead generation system, like cold calling for-sale-by-owner properties, to uncover off-market opportunities.

· Consider running your own 90-day real estate investing challenge to learn strategies and build accountability with others.
