Once you are able to successfully do one deal i think that taste of accomplishment helps propel you to the next one and so forth. 

I also want to start with the right first move to propel me forward.

They are going to be like how astronauts start with digital plane simulators, then ride in a plane, then fly a propeller plane, then review the charts, then move on to a digital jet simulator, review those charts, then a digital space shuttle simulator, then a space shuttle, with a thousands steps in between.

As a propeller-headed IT geek, here's what I know: With regard to the setup/installation, I would do a network video recorder with PoE (Power over Ethernet) cameras.

The book has been cited by many as one of the books that propelled them into real estate investing and if that is true then it has had a great impact.

Edward, it sounds like you've got some great experience to propel you forward.

This time has helped me see that my job actually helps propel me toward my goals despite having nothing to do with RE and I make more progress when working compared to when not working.

And then you've got the clause about how I'm not responsible if the TV goes out or if your power gets shut off (as tenants pay for their own power at my units).Really, though, if you have a drive to take on the responsibilities of a landlord, that drive should propel you to be the best landlord that you can.

Looking back - it was a turning point in our investing business...propelled us forward. 

My contacts made by selling real estate propelled my career in all sorts of areas that I could have only dreamed of.
