I just found this site today and I am fascinated at some of the questions. Why would anyone go out and buy a course/book/tape or anything else and then expect someone else to motivate them.
I have been doing this business of investing in Reatl Estate for almost 30 years. I started by reading Bob Allen’s book “Nothing Down”. My parents had rented the same house in california for 37 years. That is right 37 years. Do you have any idea how many times they bought that house over and over through their monthly payments.
I have tought many people this business. Right now I have 19 partners in 6 states all of whom I have trained.
I’ll till you the same thing I till them, don’t worry about the mules, just load the wagon. That is a polite way of saying get off your a__ and get to doing business.
You can think or you can pounder but until you open your mouth you’ll never know this business.
You knnow what I do when training someone new, it is simple, I look for one or two houses that we can burn
( that means it does not matter if we get them or not)
I let my newbie try out their wing and if they get burnt them that’s okay as long as they don’t commet the same mistake again.
I have found a new interest in real estate that I am doing personally right now that gives me great joy and a feeling of accomplishment. (plus it puts a few beans on the table).
One thing I hate is someone that blows their own horn. I feel if someone else isn’t impressed enough to blow your horn for you then, keep your mouth shout.
With that let me add this, there are many excillent investors out there. They don’t sell programs or put on simenars but just do what they do best.
My little group of partners do about $16,000,000 dollars worth of business each month. You will never hear about us or even know anything about us unless you are doing busines in the same markets that we are in.
So stop asking for opinions and just get out and do IT!!!
