I've recently been approached by a well known cable TV casting director looking for their next 2 hosts for a new Atlanta based flipping show produced by the creators of "Love It Or List It".

Hi ChrisAlthough the flips and makeovers on TV seem to center around design, for a large part, that's probably not what will drive most of your decisions in real life. 

CNBC talking heads will always convince viewers that now is the best time time to buy (including in 2007-2008 when the world was falling apart).Ask a forum of real estate investors what the market risks are, and you're unlikely to get an objective analysis.

Typed up letters on a Microsoft using Mail-Merge and simply signed my name at the bottom of each (I do this while watching TV or talking to my wife at night or listening to a podcast) and physically wrote the address on each envelope myself (also while doing something else constructive...or not so constructive) and sent out 300 letters.

From cell phones, we deem as being essential to life, cable TV and yes the exorbitant cost of designer coffee when a regular coffee at a diner serves the same purpose at 1/3 the cost.

I don't like people showing up at my house when I am in the middle of dinner with family, half dressed watching TV, in the middle of a long phone conversation, helping the kids with their homework or almost done cutting the grass.

Seemed one of those beat up houses with a motivated seller like I saw on TV, so I executed a sales contract with him and paid an earnest money deposit directly to the seller.  

I love Uncle G (Grant Cardone) and even my 6-year old daughter likes him :)Grant recommends going bigger like 16 units or more as everyone states,  but during the latest his show he even encourages viewers to start from 2 or 4 units.  

In this era oflate night TV and videos boasting about doing real estate deals Paulstands out as he has actually done them and tells how in his book.Paul's presentation will be on 'Creating Your Own Financing'.Plan to attend.

's advice is excellent. learn to code as it is a new form of basic literacy. doesn't mean you have to write software for a living but it is a skill that will serve you well in business, investing or whatever you do for the rest of your life.He is also right about you tube and streaming channels. find a niche and build a great channel. 99.99% of your age group is content viewers not creators. find what your friends and classmates are interested in and build the best channel you can around it.
