Disciplines of a real estate investor
hey bp!
I am beginner investor, I just got a house under contract waiting to close on it. I have great ambition to acquire a large rental portfolio. I am very ambitious about the pursuit, always reading, driving for dollars, yellow letter campaigns. I am always trying to work at it but sometimes there are days I just don't know what to do but wait to close on my first house and prepare to rehab it. My question is what are some things that can be done daily to "build your busines" or things that one can turn into habits/ disciplines that are beneficial to new or old investors?
Thanks

@Jonathan Brown Have you considered ranking your website for upper page SERPs? Even pages 2-3 on Google will yield periodic free leads (by "free" I mean not paying money), and climbing to page 1 you will receive steady off-market lead flow. Individual content, such as blogs, can also rank for Google and be a lead source. Most SEO ranking activity requires time, not money, so if you're looking to leverage time for more deals (without paying postage or pay-per-click) it's a good place to start.
Of course, you will have to secure a domain and design the site. There are costs for that, but costs to get a site up and running pale in comparison to direct-mail and home purchases.
