The importance of YOU.
All too often I see new and even experienced investors lack qualities needed, and possibly required, to be a successful real estate investor and business owner. It is so very important that it be treated like a business. Just because you are a one person operation, don't think that your business should not be professional and have not only the appearance, but the actual framework of an ongoing successful corporation.
This does not mean that you have to run out and form a corporation before ever doing your first deal, that is a topic that should be discussed with one of your team members, your CPA to be exact. It does mean that you should have professional looking business cards and have enough education in your field to know the lingo and speak it. As the old saying hoes, you only get one chance to make a first impression!
In your networking endeavors, this advice holds true time and time again. If you want to be taken seriously then you must present yourself in a professional and business like manner. You are the representative of your company and you must have respect for You if you want respect from others.
Dealing with contractors, private lenders, sellers, and other professional in your field requires You to have enough knowledge to speak intelligently with them, requires a professional attitude, and a determination to follow through on your word.
