What are the top mistakes investors make?

For my self it wasn’t starting soon enough. I had multi times where I thought money was going to be a issue. But I’ve had multi times where people have said here’s the money... and I honestly wasn’t even ready because I didn’t get over that boundary.

So what was some of your biggest mistakes that you learned from??

I'll give you the two biggest mistakes, because they go hand in hand:

1a - Paying off their mortgage out of pocket.
1b - Mistaking the property as the asset, instead of the equity and the cash flow from that property.
