    501 | Building Confidence Before Your First Deal with Reggie Faunce

    Everybody wants to feel more confident before making a big investing decision. But for a lot of people, that confidence does not show up all at once. It builds over time through learning, listening, asking questions, and seeing what actually works in the real world. This week on Not Your Average Investor, Gregg Cohen sits down with Reggie Faunce to talk about what it looked like to go from learning about real estate investing to finally taking action, and why that journey became about much more than just buying a property. Here’s what we’ll dive into: - how real investors think about building wealth in a changing market - what people learn once they are actually in the journey - how investors handle uncertainty, setbacks, and surprises - what lessons may help you make your own next move with more confidence If you have ever thought to yourself, "I need a little more confidence before I make my next move," this is a conversation worth hearing.
