Here's what I would do:* Find Cash Partners* Find Credit Partners* Put together a Power Team* Write Down and organize your financial goals based on your financial needs (cash flow, personal debt)* Learn how to analyze markets to find the micro-markets that match your financial goals* Learn how money works (you will not learn this from most REI, or Harvard Business School)* Become highly proficient in both Geometry and Algebra (Analytical)* Understand the 2 Golden Rules of REI.* Understand the difference between:     * Good and Bad Debt     * Cost and Expense     * Cash Flow and Profit     * Good and Bad Equity ...at least that's where I would start...if I had to do it all over again.Which falls under the category of, "If I only knew then what I know now..."
