Ashley Kerr: 作为一名物业经理，我开始对房地产投资产生兴趣。我的第一笔交易是一栋复式楼，通过与一位合伙人合作，他提供了资金，我负责管理和装修。虽然最初的现金流很低，但这次经历为我打开了房地产投资的大门，并迅速促成了第二笔交易。我意识到，首次交易的关键不在于快速致富，而在于积累经验和建立基础。即使需要付出一些股权，与他人合作也是一个快速入门的好方法。现在回想起来，我更看重房产的长期增值潜力，以及它为我提供的财务灵活性。 Tony J. Robinson: 我的第一笔房地产投资位于什里夫波特，之所以选择那里是因为我的父母曾居住在那里，我对当地市场有初步了解。我通过与当地银行建立关系，获得了一种特殊的贷款产品，该产品覆盖了购买和装修的全部费用，几乎没有自掏腰包。虽然远程管理装修带来了一些挑战，但我通过与承包商保持密切沟通和利用银行的检查服务来克服这些困难。这笔交易虽然现金流不高，但它验证了我的投资策略，并为我后来的房地产事业奠定了基础。我建议新手投资者积极与当地专家建立联系，并利用一切可用的资源。
