How to be Successful in Real Estate
Hi,
I am in need of some direction. I really want to get my real estate investing journey started. I have an idea of what it takes to be successful but i have no structure in doing so. Something that continues to resonate with me when watching BP podcasts is this statement "Treat it as a business and not a hobby". I understand that this is my biggest flaw at this point in time. I want to treat real estate investing as a business but i fail to recognize the tasks i should be focusing on. What are some suggested tasks i should be doing at a daily/weekly frequency.
