You could attribute my poor results to not knowing what the hell I'm doing, being inconsistent or any number of things (which are all true), however, Bradley has one of the gurus in the field running his campaign...Again, I fully admit I have no idea what I'm doing and am making it up as I go along but when someone else has similar results and has a guru running their campaign, it does make you start to wonder about the efficacy of DM these days.

What is lacking in these programs is a broad based scope, real estate law, market analysis, financial analysis, property management, differentiation between types of real property, market segmentation, study of real estate cycles, and of course the attributes, personality, knowledge, intellect, mathematical skill, research ability, social skills, etc. of the individual which will determine which aspect of the real estate industry he or she would have the best chance of finding success in, or if he or she should be in the real estate investing field at all.

Michael, thanks for the introduction up top :)Aside from those attributes I am also an Active Duty sailor.

The floating floor is very durable and looks great, but quiet is not one of its attributes.

I attribute my success in the world of sales to understanding what motivation a person has to make a decision; then crafting a solution that is mutually beneficial.

I attribute my success to having a strong connection to someone else in the business.

I wonder what attributes make something a Cocktail Lounge versus a Bar/Tavern?

What we both agree to be our weakest attribute is finances.

That way, people who have complementary attributes can reach out. 

In other words, if you are looking at buying a 3bd 2ba home with a one car garage and is 1300 square feet, you would look at other houses nearby with "comparable" attributes.
