Organization
I think my biggest problem is organization. This results in a lack of focus and very poorly executed decisions.
Any tips that you gurus have about how a REI'er should get themselves organized?
What type of knowledge should a newbie possess. With the complexity of it all - I do not want to be like some people - analyzing for 10 years and not being active
I guess it's the starting point .... I'm just having trouble finding one. I'll start trying to pick out properties - and before I'm even done looking at an MLS sheet - i'm thinking about Capital Gains taxes ... or about renters ... etc
So ... any help is appreciated
