What are you doing everyday to be productive in Real Estate?

Hi BP,

Just curious to see what everyone does on a daily basis to progress their real estate journey. 

I’m a newbie, I have one rental property under my belt and am looking to scale. I’ve caught the real estate bug and cannot quit!

Everyday I walk my pups along the river and listen to a real estate podcast. Sometimes I do my conference calls by the river, I tend to think more creatively in this environment. I look at the forums everyday and read real estate related news everyday as well. I then surf the internet for potential properties, make connections with people, set up conference calls for the following day and repeat. 

Right now, I’m trying to figure out creative ways to buy homes with little to no money down. I’m looking into owner financing, hard money lenders, partnerships etc. I’m trying to talk to as many people as I can and soak up as much info as I can.

I also recently started doing yoga every night to keep my stress low and keep my mind sharp.

So with all that being said, what does everyone do on a daily basis to keep progressing in their real estate journey?

@Emily Hill great question. Here's what I do daily: 

- drink a liter of water with a scoop of wheatgrass as soon as I wake up (this helps me get ready for the day, wakes me up and hydrates me) 

- do some form of exercise - ride my bike around town, run, lift weights, play basketball, etc 

- read something - right now I'm reading a book on TED Talks to help me become a better public speaker 

- look at my vision board which is a big poster on my wall, the background on my phone and the background on my laptop (it would be impossible to miss it!) 

- look at my death clock - I have a countdown clock that counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to my deal (I picked my 90th b-day) - it reminds me that every second counts

And, each week I: 

- interview 9 real estate investors for my real estate investing podcast (been doing a daily podcast for over 1,800 days now)

- read something about apartment syndication that someone else publishes either a blog article, book, or read the transcript of a podcast
