Real Estate "Cheat Sheet"?

[Ryan Burg]

Throughout my life (grade school, college, business), I've always been a big advocate of taking notes and organizing different sources of information into one place, making it all easier to digest. I like to have reference sheets to look back on, since I will inevitably forget some of the minor but important details as time moves on.

Although I'm just starting out, I find myself doing the same thing while learning about Real Estate. I've started a document on my computer that I'm using to compile the all of the key takeaways and "golden nuggets" from the different books I'm reading, BP bodcasts I'm listening to, and other networking conversations along the way. This ranges from a quote that resonated with me, to formulas/rules I want to memorize, and foundational vocabulary and concepts. I realize there's no way to capture everything, and learning is a continual process, but it feels helpful to me to have a working "cheat sheet" of information to study and reinforce important concepts. I loved the BP Ultimate Beginner's Guide, but I'm also wondering, have any of you created similar documents to help you remember valuable information?

If so, and you feel comfortable sharing, I would love to take a look at what you may have come up with! Mine is still in the beginning stages, so it would be invaluable to me to learn what information is most significant to some of the more seasoned investors on the forum.

Thanks!
Ryan
