I want to transition into real estate investing and/or flipping houses. I have capital, but I don’t know where to start. For example, am I able to find foreclosures and buy them on my own or do I leverage a real estate agent? Or, how would I go about finding investment properties? What are those processes like? I understand the best way to learn is to jump in but surely there has to be a good “go to” video, blog, etc. Any ideas?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

But light burbs? Srlsy? They are grown up people (fresh out of college girls)

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
