If you can invent a time machine - what will you tell your younger self so you won't make that BIG real estate mistake

[Wendell De Guzman]

OK...this is NOT just because I am a sucker for time travel stories BUT...this forum thread will hopefully HELP both beginner and experienced investors alike. How? By openly sharing the mistakes that each of us have made - we can all avoid them and as a result - BP members will make more money as a community.

So here we go...

If you can build a time machine and you can talk to your younger self to warn YOU of that BIG real estate mistake you're about to make...what will your warning be like?

Here's what I would tell my younger self:

"Hey Wendell - do NOT buy a 36-unit building which is 100+ years old which is located in a war zone. You can buy it dirt cheap but there are properties that are not worth the piece of dirt they stand on."

What about you? What will you tell your younger self?

Absolutely nothing!   The younger me would not listen anyway!!
