Looking back, I wished I had put more focus on these things:1) Education: Consciously & consistently improving my skills & becoming an expert in a specialized area or niche.2) Drastically reduce living expenses early: The lower this is, the sooner you get out of the rat race.3) Prioritize finding deals that will generate consistent long term income or "mailbox money" vs. one big score, or one check paydays.

Time is now my least available resource so I’m conscious of outsourcing what I can, and saving my time for what I really need to spend it on.I found that relationships in this business make a huge difference.

I make financial independency a goal but I try to stay conscious that it should be more of a tool instead of the goal.

You need to be conscious of that when trying to wholesale a property as other investors will be savvy enough to notice this.

Hi,As a rehaber, another main thing you need to stay conscious of is that you have to disclose a lot more information.

I am very conscious of my credit score which is very good to excellent.All scenarios I envision is losing this home, AND my credit score will drop.My goal is to keep my credit intact.

A class I took years ago for special education talked about four stages of learning: 1. unconsciously incompetent - don't know that you don't know 2. consciously incompetent - now you know that you don't know it 3. consciously competent- can do it, and can explain it 4. unconsciously competent- been doing it right for so long, cannot fathom doing it wrongMost learning occurs in stage two, the best teachers are in stage three.

They should be able to do this pretty easily.If this is going to take too long (on the lender's side), just call and explain the situation, and I'm sure than can offer a workable solution.That said, I'm pretty security conscious when it comes to protecting my SS#, and I wouldn't have an issue with giving it to an attorney for a real estate closing.

All of the great amenities you have in your house may set you apart from your competition, but you will find people are more price conscious these days.Also, too much competition may drive down prices and up vacancy.Third, VRBO is a great site, but you need to spend a lot of time promoting your property properly.

I had been saving and investing since I was conscious, but knew it would be around 75-125K for a decent REO in Chicago plus construction costs.
