Being that this is our first attempt at being landlords, we’d like to educate ourselves before making any impulsive decisions we’ll regret down the road. 

My first impulse was to get my license and partner with her in real estate, but after reading everything we could get our hands on, we decided that we should become investors using her knowledge of real estate and my connections to contractors.  

See what properties are being listed for, how long they sit on the market, how much they sell for, etc.The great part about not having any cash (few and far between great parts of that), is that you won't have the impulse to jump at something you think is a deal but isn't. 

Congratulations, 8 signs out and keep it going until your phone starts constantly ringing.I think bandit signs will always be a good lead source because people are impulsive.

Plus-- you'll be a lot less likely to impulse spend, because you'll know you have to write it down!

An impulsive decision could be a great deal, but it could also set you back ... so, proceed with reason and caution, not with heart (unless you can afford to throw away that money).

She understands that I'm not just doing something risky and impulsive.

Next time resist the impulse to speak without all the facts.

I'm like that too and can be very impulsive sometimes.
