Show you have spare money.. get your credit ready. 

I also airbnb my spare room out.

I have several garages but we just use my daughter's spare garage.

On my spare time I would sift through the uploads and time after time I watched and heard new information..As I sat and listened to all of these savvy investors I realized that many of them had the odds in their favor.

I have been reading through "How I Turned $1,000 into a Million in Real Estate in My Spare Time" by William Nickerson and have been curious about his strategy.

so i have been working on building my marketing plan and I plan on hitting NYC area my family is in nyc and so am i right now and i guess you could call me an opportunist with lots of spare time so i want to use wholesaling techniques to snatch off market deals cutting out all the middle men involved and yea fixing and flipping them for now as i have a limited source of capital at the moment although eventually i will be holding multi families for rental income...My plan is to find a broker or agent willing to pay a monthly fee (equivelant to my advertising cost) in exchange for a steady stream of referrals for all the motivated sellers who call me but are not willing to work with me at my price or have a move in ready home and want to sell at market value which is clearly not what i am looking for....there are so many empty billboards in NYC but i will probably start out with a 3x12 Banners that i can have made for free at the moment and find willing commercial business owners in industrial areas with a high traffic count...

little bit more. on my rentals I buy the same faucets and keep one as spare, I then call the companies and order replacement cartridges for all units and keep them as spare, so if I ever have a problem, I have the parts in stock to repair or replace the unit.

I keep my reading materials with me at all times and my phone stocked with podcasts and audible books so even though I don't have time to work on my investing every day, at least I can read or listen in any small amount of spare time I can find and keep up on education and motivation.
