I personally don't use affirmations as r2 described, but I do heavily use visualization.

And do not think so heavily upon these idiotic worst case senarios that will never happen, like a bank foreclosure.

I focus heavily on long-term tenants.

Between the mortgage fraud that makes it hard to get loans in those areas and makes proper valuations nearly impossible, to "professional tenants" that know the laws are heavily in favor of them.

I am in the Columbia market and work heavily in the foreclosure and investor market and teach First Year Sales courses for new students.

Cashflow should weigh heavily into the equation not just appreciation.

My brother and I are on the wholesale side and heavily invested in direct marketing in parts of Essex and Union County.

I agree @Chris Martin , what my point was , is that HUD doesn't have to prosecute agents to punish them heavily.

I am heavily influenced by design for lean six sigma so this is something I would do anyway.

Just keep in mind that finding money for a good deal is not difficult and your costs of financing are heavily outweighed by the opportunity costs lost by not doing it faster and investing in more.
