Take that mindset and bring it to everything that you do in your life.That's an astute observation, Brandon.See, the "hard" part of real estate investing is not education, though that is of ultimate importance: learn how before attempting to do it, and it's not marketing though you will need buyers or renters in order for your exit strategies to be effective as well as needing sellers and strong team members in order for your lead generation and property acquisition strategies to be effective.No, the "hard" part of real state investing is entrepreneurship: that which distinguishes the average consumer ("poor Dad") from a successful entrepreneur ("rich Dad").For example, the average consumer ("poor Dad") looks for ways to spend money.

For example, as a broker whenever I submit offers with my buyers I'm making a distinguishment between monies for down payment and monies for contract signing. 

How do I locate a commercial professional that can assist me, and what am I looking for in this professional that will distinguish him/her as being qualified?

Hi BP Family,How can I distinguish good vs bad Property management and when is the time to change the property managers? 

Totally agree..Providing value and distinguishing yourself is key.

Here they distinguish a townhome from a half duplex even though it's almost the same thing. 

Instead, apartment buildings are constructed with apartments that are often hard to distinguish from condos but are currently rented by apartment style tenants.It is my view that investors should be wary when purchasing condos in the Denver area, because I tend to believe that the mounting pressure to protect builders and incentivize them to bring condos to the region will drive down the price of existing condos over time.

The Chicago ADU page distinguishes rules between conversions in-building and coach houses, and those rules are different for each pilot district.Jared I hope it’s okay I tack on another question about coach houses, the program page reads, “Coach houses may cover no more than 60 percent of a property’s required rear setback...”

@Bill R. very astutely pointed out some of the flaws in the logic and reasoning behind some of the posts on this thread from agents.We even have some agents posting here who don't seem to distinguish between FSBO and flat fee listings.

Thank you @Kelly Skeval.When you refer to customer service.. what specifically do you do in order to distinguish yourself from the rest of the agents?
