That is definately a step in the forward direction.I too believe that doing is your best teacher (experience) and the only way to get that is to get out there and (to quote a phrase from Nike) JUST DO IT!

Here is how it goes:DTI - Dynamic Training InstituteA full size replica town complete with sfr, office building, airplane, gas station, streets etc, etc.

@James Canoy So I just finished reading Shoe Dog, by Phil Knight the founder of Nike, yesterday and heard a point that came to mind when reading your post.

@Raven WalkerAs the Nike commercial says, "Just do it!"

In the BP podcasts, I find it interesting that the guests who have a longer history of success usually recommend diligence and being very careful and patient to those who are just starting out (even though the vast majority of them didn't start off that way themselves), while the guests who are newer to REI are more inclined to recommend Nike's "just do it!"

I bought the exact replica duplex from the seller last year at 1.28 mil but got one unit vacant.

In real estate you eventually have to do the Nike way "Just do it".

Credibility is a close second.See it this way... do you see Nike cold calling?

Nike had it figured out all along didn't they?!

I don;t see Nike do bandit signs do you?
