Knowing what you know now...Let me start...I will teach myself to STOP the "No money down" guru crap I was about to embark on (so I can avoid bankruptcy)I will teach myself to have FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE - not show off but live a modest, simple, and FRUGAL lifeI will teach myself to FOCUS ON THE BIG DEALS and I will teach myself HOW to do BIG DEALS, instead of wasting time on the smaller dealsI will teach myself how to RAISE CAPITAL, combined with personal discipline so that I can have a HUGE CASH RESERVE so I can buy as many properties in the years 2008-2011 as possible- I bought a lot of properties in 2008-2011: I actually thrived during the recession but I wished I bought more :)What about the experienced real estate investors out there?
