This is Real Estate Rookie episode 287.

The number one thing hands down that allowed me to be successful and purchased my first house hack was going to networking events.

The more you hang out with and meet people who are in the same industry as you, you're going to become similar, minded, and you're going to see what's possible when you're around people who are doing the things that you want to do.

So that's what I focused on.

My name is Ashley Care and I'm here with my co-host Tony Robinson.

And welcome to the Real Estate Rookie podcast where every week, twice a week, we're bringing you the inspiration, motivation, and stories you need to hear to kickstart your investing journey.

And as always, you've got another really amazing story for y'all here today.

But today's guest is a little special, a little different from our normal guest where it's actually someone who works at bigger pockets.

So we got Danielle Daly on the podcast today and she's got just an amazing story.

Yeah, so she talks about where she was before she worked for bigger pockets and just the mindset of trying to figure out her quarter life midlife crisis, I guess it would be called.

And I think it might be relatable to you if you are stuck in a job that you dislike or maybe you're in between jobs or careers because you don't know what you actually want to do with your life.

I think this would be a great lesson if you are in that kind of scenario.

Yeah, Danielle also talks about, and this is probably like my favorite thing that I heard throughout the entire episode was just the power of her network and how she consistently leaned on people that she had met at meetups or online or wherever it was to mitigate some of that fear that she had about taking that next step.

And I think if there's anything you take away from today's episode, it's really that step about how do you leverage your network.

And then she also gets into some nitty gritty at the end about her rinse by the room strategy and how she's able to really maximize her returns by leveraging that strategy.

So overall just a lot of really great things that Danielle had throughout this episode.

And then she also shares with what's next. So what does she have planned for her next investment and then also the vision five years down the road.

All right, so I also want to give a shout out to someone by the username of Joey 1982.

Joey would love to say five star review and Apple podcasts that says I love listening to the show and often listen to past episodes when I've run out of new episodes.

They do a great job of presenting fundamentals and specific concepts and an easy to digest way.

Joey, we appreciate you.

And for all of our records that are listening, if you have not yet left us an honest review on Apple podcasts or Spotify or wherever it is, you'll listen and please take it literally takes like two seconds.
