Most people say they want to get into real estate - and very few actually take the first step.

In this episode, Jim Oliver sits down with Chris Prefontaine to talk about what separates people who keep learning from people who actually start doing deals. Chris explains why experience matters, why most real estate education falls short, and how mentorship, accountability, and hands-on guidance can shorten the learning curve fast.

They also get into the danger of shiny objects, the cost of waiting too long, and why the right coach can change everything. This is a practical conversation for anyone who wants to stop sitting on the sidelines and start building real cash flow.
