3. You bought a Range Rover on credit instead of your first investment property

I've put in site unseen offers many times. Sometimes it's the only way to get it in there fast enough

Helpful list for a beginner... Our agent just told us how absurd it is when investors ask her to put an offer in sight unseen. Good thing we have more than one agent we work with and the other is an investor himself.
