Real Estate Investors Do the Dumbest Thing!

[Account Closed]

Ok , I've done some stupid things over the years but one came to mind today when i was new new new.  I was helping a handyman trying to be a general contractor who was working on a project trying to learn.  He sent me to  the store to get a bunch of quarter round.   So i went to the store and thought hey, this stuff wont go on the car so I'm going to get it all cut in smaller strips..... went ahead and did that with all of them and got back the guy was not happy.  I didn't know there was a purpose to having it long runs.  So he went back to the store and got a whole new batch.  

Have you done anything dumb in your real estate investing career?
