I have started a career in real estate with the goal of creating passive income to be able to enjoy more time with my family and to bless as many people as possible with the fruits of this labor.

Her's is going to sheep, but nonetheless the non-metaverse translation is a single, elderly woman (that spent her day cleaning her building) and is asset rich, but cash poor and might have to deal with tenants, maintenance and BS for another twelve months until her properties sell..Her discipline of low debt, no debt and frugality helped her reach and exceed very lofty personal goals, but when will she enjoy the fruits of her labor and how much do the sheep or the next in line deserve or require? 

Hello to all,I just recently introduced myself to the forum and decided that I’ll take a moment to provide some background and forward looking information as to my involvement in the R/E investing world. Perhaps it ...

Interesting, Darren, my definition is very close to yours, but I'd say there is another important element, the quality of the information given.To me, the derogatory use of the term is applied to those that add fluff, exaggerations, aspects that while may be technically correct but are highly improbable to replicate or simply put out bad advice with no consideration to ethical issues.I make that distinction because, some professor in some university teaching a real estate course or some instructor in a state approved real estate school for agents isn't a guru, they are teachers and instructors.The difference in being a non-guru teacher is two fold, 1. the materials taught are compliant with rules, regulations, laws, accepted in practice and are based in sound applications of the business; and 2. they are qualified by education and experience, by education that has some professional level that is determined by proof of their mastering a level of knowledge, testing and degrees earned or certifications by proper authorities in the industry or academia.

They offer a ton of training for agents and I found that it was even more training available than most of the large brokerages in the area offered.

. ;)They are "low hanging fruit" as I know enough about them to collect.

In the hotel business, the rehab and sell method has been around for ages, but the difference is that it takes years.

I started paying off my higher rate and higher risk loans after I hit my unit goal and low hanging fruit (abundant opportunity to buy more) dried up.

Reflecting each night and week also gives you encouragement by showing you what fears you've overcome to reach your goals (mine was making phone calls to strangers).This is an ideal journal for agents, wholesalers, property managers, and pretty much anyone who is trying to reach new heights.Has anyone else had experience using the Best Self Journal?

What are your biggest frustrations as an agent?
