There is something to be said for the quality of fire lit under your a$$ when operating without a Plan B.I also concurrently believe that many people who do not allow for the possibility of failure in their lives are suffering from a cognitive dissonance and when they do fail, the failure breaks their minds and they rarely fully heal in the broken places.I believe consistently successful people have a dark and secretive cynical part of themselves that knows when they're cheering themselves on in a limited way to complete a difficult task and when they're lying to themselves.

In ALL cases, anything presented as a secret or new way, is something that is known and old that has perhaps a different sales pitch, most pitches you can think of on your own or from others. 

The right deal at a great price will basically bring you a buyer pretty easy.I posted earlier on how to find some properties, please lookFsbo is a good start, but I will give you a secret on how to find them without driving around.

It's also not uncommon for secret shoppers to call agents/property managers and try to get them to say something that is against the regulations of what they are allowed to say. 

It has no secrets from me...I don't see any point to talking to the county as they know what it is, that's just how they classify them.

I would also suggest to purchase a couple properties yourself before you start investing other people's money.Also, here are my favorite books:Multifamily Millions by Dave LindahlThe ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroyThe Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings by Steve BergesCommercial Real Estate Investing by Dolf De RoosTrump: The Best Real Estate Advice I Ever Received by Donald TrumpTax Free Wealth by Tom WheelwrightCommercial Real Estate 101: How Small Investors Can Get Started and Make It Big by David LindahlRaising Private Capital: Building Your Real Estate Empire Using Other People’s Money by Matt FairclothThe Definitive Guide to Apartment Marketing by Josh GrilloInvesting in Apartment Building by Matthew MartinezCrushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate by Brian H MurrayThe 7 Secrets to Successful Apartment Leasing by Eric Cumley2 Years to a Million in Real Estate by Matthew MartinezBurn Zones: Playing Life’s Bad Hands by Jorge NewberyCommercial Mortgages 101: Everything You Need to Know to Create a Winning Loan Request by Michael ReinhardIt’s a Whole New Business!
