Top 3 Mistakes New Investors Make and How to Avoid Them - RESIC Meetup

### Event Description

RESIC – Real Estate Success Investor Club (February Meeting)
Topic: Top 3 Mistakes New Investors Make — and How to Avoid Them
Whether you’re brand new to real estate investing or already working on deals, this month’s RESIC meetup is designed to deliver practical, real-world value you can apply immediately.
Too many investors lose time, money, and confidence by making avoidable mistakes early on. In this session, we’ll break down the top three mistakes new investors make and show you exactly how to avoid them—using real examples from the field.

### What We’ll Cover

• Mistake #1: Rushing the Numbers
  Learn how small miscalculations can turn a “good deal” into a bad one. We’ll walk through a simple good-vs-bad deal example.
• Mistake #2: Underestimating Costs
  Discover common hidden costs that surprise new investors—and how to budget properly from the start.
• Mistake #3: Neglecting the Team
  Real estate is a team sport. We’ll show you what a strong investor “dream team” looks like and why it matters.

### What You’ll Walk Away With

• A clear framework to avoid costly beginner mistakes
• A simple deal analysis checklist / worksheet you can reuse
• A better understanding of how real investors think and operate
• Meaningful connections with other investors in Orange County

### Agenda

6:00 – 6:30 PM: Networking
6:30 – 7:30 PM: Training Session
