First time real estate investing can be a lot of trial and error in the beginning. From the legal side, we often see these mistakes from first time investors.
1. They do not have a coach/mentor. This is important that an investor should educate themselves and learn about other's experiences. Where other investors have succeeded and failed.
2. They are afraid to get their power team involved in the deal early on.
