@Brie Schmidt

- Cover not stepping over dollars to pick up pennies - I see this a lot in new investors! IE an investor should value their team of agents, contractors, attorneys, etc. and not try to cut costs by marginal amounts in those departments (like choosing any atty for $400 over a great atty @ $600).

- Not being too proud to utilize great buyer assistance programs out there. If its an investor's first property, they don't need to run their portfolio like Warren Buffet does, so if the down payment assistance can make the deal happen, take it!
