Lesson #87 Learned

Hello Beautiful People of BP,

Being new, I'm always learning and trying to learn. Some potential mistakes were saved by what I hear and read right here. Others, I have to learn the hard way. And for the record, I knew not to do what I did this past weekend because of what I've read here. So maybe I learned two lessons: 1. Listen to experienced investors on BP and.....

2. Don't schedule apartment showings for individual times. Schedule open house viewings.

I scheduled 5 (or was it 6?) showings yesterday. One person showed up. One. I wasted far too much time waiting on people that flaked out. Won't do that again! haha. Certainly not the worst mistake I can make, but one I made nonetheless. 

Happy Renting, everyone
