Here are some suggestions: Look for opportunity within your current role and ask to take on more of what interests you Ask an investor if you can work with them directly, you’ll learn a ton!

0:00.0	This is Real Estate Rookie Episode 158.
0:08.2	My name is Ashley Care, and I am here with my co-host, Tony Robinson.
0:13.0	And welcome to the Real Estate Rookie Podcast, where we give you the inspiration, the motivation
0:18.0	to get started or keep going and real estate investing. And actually, every Saturday,
0:21.8	we pick a lucky, lucky listener and we answer their question live on the show. But before we do
0:26.8	that, Ashley, what's going on with you? What's new in your neck of the woods?
0:30.0	Well, I went to this real estate event for my property management company recently. It was

0:40.8	the rookie listeners there and we were talking and I was telling him the story of what happened.
0:46.1	He's like, you've got to tell that on the podcast. So, if you don't mind, I'm going to go

1:47.9	were remodeling it before they moved in. So, that's why they needed somewhere to stay for those
