I don't think anyone is following the thread so I am going to use it as a journal.

I'm not sure I belong on any "dream teams", but yes I do evaluate a lot of multifamily.We currently have over 500 units under contract and my partner was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal yesterday and a deal we recently purchased in Florida will apparently be featured as their "deal of the week" next Wed.  

First, I found the quote a Wall Street Journal article about 18 year old Chinese-American tennis phenom named Winston Lin (linsanity II). http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303513404577354211940515768.html?

And hanging around elementary school wasn’t going to help me continue to grow at the rate that I wanted to grow.It was at that time that @Brandon Turner was announcing his Intention Journal and that whoever bought one could be placed into a mastermind group.

Make sure you perform solid due-diligence on these individuals as they'll often have access to all of your business assets (bank accounts, credit cards, etc) and the instances of fraud in small businesses occur far more frequently than the large company scandals that we read about on the pages of the Wall Street Journal.2.

Threads like these helped me out A LOT:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/87/topics/81989-critique-my-listsource-criteria-first-time-doing-thishttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/82269-wholesaling-marketing-journal?

Save your money & time, you can learn much more by just reading an RE investment book, journal articles, and BP forum, not to mention talking to local experts and doing RE yourself (of course by starting out small, and increasing over time).

It's great when the media does some old-school heavy-duty investigative journalism and the government responds with hearings and it's own investigation (think Watergate).

I think reading the Business Journal for a particular city can be rally helpful as the articles focus on business climate.

Another action I have done is: after I have clarified my goal, I will write it down (in a journal, or anywhere) once in the morning and once at night.
