Asking for help - why is it seen as a weakness? Personally I think admitting you aren't as knowledgeable in a subject and asking for help on it is a big green flag! It shows drive and willingness to learn, but I feel like that is a controversial topic...

I don't think it's seen as a weakness at all. I do think, however, it needs to be approached appropriately. It only comes off as a weakness when you "don't know what you don't know." When you are aware that you don't know something and are making every effort to learn it, that's growth.

Totally agree. I’ve actually started to admire people more when they ask good questions. It takes confidence to say you don’t know something and still stay engaged.

Stigma for certain groups. Some would rather make it all up than ask for help or admit they don’t know something. Ends up costing them and others more time, money, but not the ‘embarrassment’ of saying, “I don’t know.”

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
