Key Takeaways:

"I think it's important to have that mindset where it's like, if one door closes, you're going to figure out how you'll get it done another way." - Thia Velinor

"You can only learn so much info. A lot of the learning comes from the action components -- the doing." - Thia Velinor

"I got my first 17 doors without putting any money. All I did was find the deal." - Thia Velinor

"I would encourage people to get great at recognizing what a great deal is. Once you are able to do that, now you're in front of people who want to talk to you about the deals." - Thia Velinor

"People really underestimate the power of starting with wholesaling. There are just so many good skills that you get out of that. Leverage it and get doors with no money at all." - Thia Velinor

"You only have so much money; the bank will only lend you so much, you know. It's imperative to speak to people and try to figure out how we can create that win-win; not always you trying to get something from that person. It's like, what can we do together? Like, how can we build together?" - Thia Velinor

"Speak to people and just do it properly. You can figure it out by yourself. And it might take you a few years, or you can invest a few bucks and get there in a few months. You know It's not an overnight success story by any means." - Thia Velinor

"If you stick with it and build those fundamental skills that you need to go far in the business and not just with wholesaling. Once you have that down, you're good to go. But the main thing, invest in yourself, by all means." - Thia Velinor

"I see the value [of mentorship], and it taught me a lot. It also put me in the circles I needed to be in." - Thia Velinor

"When you pay for your friends, the conversations are different. Your mindset changes. Your outlook is going to be different. So, pay for your friends!" - Thia Velinor
