I know I can check daily at the hall of records...It is very time comsuming.

I have a lot of learning to do with all of the professional talk.. like cash flow, lender's, and all the special terms that I am not fimiliar with that you guys use on a daily basis.

It is said the most popular vehicle choice of millionaires is a Ford F-150 (I drive a 91 Silverado for apartment tasks and a Saturn Vue for my daily driver and appointments.)

From there the rest is history.So absolutely that's the most important step to becoming filthy rich is to start to believe and tell yourself at least 100 times daily that "I am a multi millionaire real estate investor".

The internet, phone and satellite communications, modern airlines reducing travel times and distances to what can sometimes amount to a long daily commute, it all helps to make the world a smaller place and enables us to do business globally not just locally.

I read the forums daily.

HelloThere also data sources that you can get that give you recent sales.Propertyshark.com (15 free reports daily) and Realquest.com(I like this one) The both carry fees, but the information they give is worth it and cuts down my comp search time considerably.

We know everyone in our building (there are 4 units) and the only one who would complain is a neighbor who hasn't subscribed to a daily paper and is used to stealing someone else's.

Are you finding yourself having to be onsite at the house with the contractors on a daily basis??

I've been watching "craigslist" in the two big markets nearest me, Austin and San Antonio, and while I don't have any firm records to go by, my "gut feeling" is that there are about 30-40% MORE daily listings of houses on there now than even 4 months ago.It could be my imagination, it could be more agents and fsbo sellers discovering it, and it could be FACT.
