The key in real estate is really knowing people because it is a people business and building a team can take you places (and make your life a lot less stressful).

The key is to have the proper team in place such as a title/escrow company familiar and capable of back to back closings, an attorney, to properly advise you and construct your documents for full legal disclosures and verbiage in your documents, and a quality transactional funder.With all of that, you can successfully complete short sale transactions.

The key is to buy every property at a BIG discount so that you are building a significant net worth as your debt increases.How much cash do you need for reserves?
