Are you really a investor?
I ask myself these questions last year when I wholesaled my first property. And I didn't answer yes to all of them, now I ask myself and they are all yes.
This is a true investor:
1. Are you protecting your assets
2. Do you know the market before everyone else
3. Do your family and love ones admire you
4. Do you take care of your health
5. Does your money work for you
This is a big one:
6. If you had a celebration and had one week to plan, would alot of BUSINESS friends come?
