How To Survive in The Real Estate Investor Jungle

[Nathaniel Walker]

Every morning when you wake up in the RE jungle you have to look out your tent to the right and then to the left to see if the coast is clear of lurking tenant or rehab issues. Then you race out the door as fast as you can to get started on your day before one of those issues hijacks your day. You have to address issues but you need to prioritize as you have other things to do.  You have to run faster then the slowest other real estate investor (your competition) and slower than the fastest smooth talking wholesaler.  You have to be prepared to climb the highest mountain to find the best deals and swim the widest river to avoid the wiliest contractors. Once you make it back to your tent at the end of the day you have to look up and count your blessings and down to shake the mud off your boots so you don't carry your troubles home.
