I have 4 guys that work for me full time and do most of my repetitive tasks such as but not limited to: painting, cabinets, roofing, siding, yard work, windows, tile, carpet, light fixtures, and light plumbing.

After so many repetitions of running the numbers on prospective transactions in your area you will be able to quickly discern the good deal when it emerges.

In addition, private lending offers repetition in our current environment and probably will for some time to come.My wife and I have been loaning money to local rehabbers successfully as a part time business in the LA area for some time now.

Go to a well stocked library and check out 10 or 15 good books, and devour them. 75% of the info will overlap, but the repetition is GOOD for you as a beginner.

Another was a local investors who had create contacts, content and such but tended to group all their students into one weekly meeting and it got repetitive after a few months.

Ideally, you want that muscle group to be tapped out, by the last repetition, of your last set.

Mailers can be very costly and only work with repetition which in return takes money and time.

I’m catching up on BP podcast right now so usually listen to 1-2 a day during the week either in the car or again, while working in excel during repetitive stuff (I have to pause them when my brain actually has to think about the work)...dreaming about building cash to a down payment on our next rental property.

When you start thinking along these lines (repetitive, sustainable business - not a one time flash in the pan windfall) your picture will become more realistic.

The courses are more repetitive and bulky, however, I am about to start a Finance and than Appraisal class so I am looking forward to those.
