& the belief we only have 2 seasons SNOW & HUMIDITY is a myth :)

As my profile will read, I am very new to investing but I have been listening to BP podcasts religiously for about two weeks now and I can honestly say it has already helped answer a few questions for me.

For the last 6 weeks I've been almost religiously reading BiggerPockets blogs and listening to (almost) any podcast I can get my hands on. 

In these days of Internet real estate searching, there's a belief that physical real estate office location doesn't matter and that walk-in traffic doesn't exist.  

My current belief which is subject to change is that the fact that a market is a "seller's market" should not in itself determine whether prices are "too high."  

We have been known to give an appreciation to a tenant on the anniversary of their lease, but have chosen not to try sending gifts or cards to the correct tenants on religious holidays {we have a very diversified tenant population}.

My personal belief is to never wholesale unless:I don't have the money to rehab the property properly.I don't want to deal with the hassle of a huge rehabMost people wholesale because they don't have the money or know how to rehab.

My belief (contrary to the late night, get rich quick infomercials) is that the long game gets you results in real estate.

It took a lot of what I call “Brain Training.”I set about on a very systematic process ‘retrain my brain‘ – to start to associate new thought patterns that replaced old beliefs that no longer served me.

It's quickly becoming my belief that to make cash-flow in the greater Seattle Market, adding Mother-In-Laws is going to be the only way to stay local and be able to justify the housing prices.
