Erik recounts his journey from a newbie commercial broker to a real estate investing mogul. He started without a solid plan but relentlessly put in the work, getting rejected constantly in sales jobs to build grit. After grinding solo as a tenant rep, Erik moved to SVN and focused on specific geographies, scoring listings. Big transactions put him on the map, attracting larger investors and deals. Erik emphasizes the importance of getting uncomfortable and failing to build skills that convert when big opportunities arise. On the investing side, he began with a distressed residential property, learning as he went and leveraging Section 8 housing. His first commercial purchase was more complex but taught vital lessons about ownership. Looking ahead, Erik plans to target residential for predictable returns. His main advice? Just start investing and gain experience early. Take risks and embrace failures - real estate allows room for mistakes. If you're new to the business, Erik happily shares guidance.
