There should be plenty of real estate meetups on a daily basis in your market.

I plan to continue working while building my buy and hold portfolio to help finance properties.I'm currently working with a great agent, have a HELOC in place, and analyzing properties daily to find something that makes sense.

I got fooled by Clayton Morris' TV personality and daily podcast of cashflow rental that he was promoting through Morris Invest.

many bare lots that make it to tax sale have hair on them.. as stated above.. easement from neighbors. some will say you cant landlock but that is not true its only true in certain circumstances.. you can defiantly land lock a parcel.

When someone posts it stays on here so one time I was in an eviction forum responding about the process and another about Veteran rentals.I have probably gotten hundreds of calls over the years for that and I had to explain I am not focused on that.So really I mainly post about commercial real estate as that is my daily life.

I have read and gone through a few of the forums, I listen to the podcast daily on my way to work, and have started buying real estate books to further educate myself.

I'm currently watching podcast daily and have read rich Dad poor Dad.

Well there is a bad  time to invest, if one don't have the experience and  one could not borrow/obtain cash for reason or another, greed and overconfidence are bad to human, if someone would like to invest in daily basis without enough knowledge and cash will at the end of the day will destroy him financially.

There are things that they would be entitled to in terms of a price adjustment (in your example, if lumber prices skyrocketed for a specific reason beyond his control then usually the owner is on the hook, however, there are measures to limit this exposure).A contract can be drafted using the scope of work, estimate, and schedule (you can include liquidated damages - this is a sum (not a penalty) of what it would cost you if the project is not completed on time - think daily rent and storage rates). 

So here is my daily routine.
