[...] This misunderstanding keeps people out of real estate investing, which means less competition for people like me. People don’t know how to get started investing in real estate. [...]

Great investment ideas!! but to invest in properties near home, well I live in new york, so that idea doesn’t work for me. That why I have to look somewhere else for deals.

I myself have broken a few of these rules but it’s all a learning experience. People will do what they want but remember don’t try and reinvent the wheel. Sometimes we learn the hard way.

The important thing is to take action.

It is interesting to note that I have broken almost every one of these rules at one time or another.

However, I never broke several at the same time.

Don’t hide behind any one or even two of these rules as a reason not to get started. If I had waited until I had 6 months reserves, I might have never gotten started.

Get out there and get a deal done. Be willing to work harder and smarter if your have to break a rule to get started. Then strive to eventually honor each and every rule on every deal you do.

Does that make sense?

Solid advice. Even though they are basic, we all still need a refresher course to stick to the fundamentals that work in real estate investing.

Of course the basics! Always start with the basics. Covered this on 700 show on Monday. Great topic. How many times when things go wrong when you look back you stepped away from the basics…

Favorite do is the lifestyle not the money. Keep that as your why and your motivation will always be there so naturally the money will come along with thte quality of life.

Dont-dont buy your second property with out your first making money. Sometimes our eyes get bigger than our stomachs… Once you get a system in place it all seems to happen naturally, because you are doing the right things!

Have a great day!
