You know you are starting a Real Estate Business when...
Eggo waffles for dinner 3 nights in a row is acceptable! Whoops!
I find it hilarious that Real estate investors who are starting their business always seem to cut corners and pinch every penny possible. Let's face it, its the nature of the beast - Real Estate is NOT CHEAP! We hear of investors on the BP Podcasts share stories about how they saved extra money when starting out. What funny things have you done in order to get by and get your business off the ground!?
