Also, I think you need longer than 30 days to close since the speed of the lenders today is going at a snail's pace.

The electrician has to deal with the plumber, HVAC, and carpenter to get his job done... and the GC has to keep all those plates spinning at just the right speed to make sure that the job gets done correctly.Also, unless we're talking about Pegani sports cars, a house is a whole lot more expensive and dangerous to work on than a car.This is one of the things that I preach a lot and I have a hard time getting people to understand - construction is one of the most challenging assembly industries in existence.

The colorants usually separate from the latex mixing base so you will want to stir it on high speed for roughly 5 to 10 minutes.

Starting out - get a quick start this spring doing terms deals

You don't know what to say, you don't know your marketplace, you're just trying to get a quick deal done.So that's the 2nd biggest mistake, not understanding how to talk to sellers.Let's talk about real estate agent's listing appointment training: How agents are trained to get the listing, how excellent their marketing is, how great their negotiating skills are, how good their team is, is is NOT necessarily to talk to sellers about terms deals.Most sellers want: the best possible financial result, the most amount of net money from the sale of their house, in the shortest possible time.They do NOT want surprises, they do not want buyers saying fix this fix that, pay for this pay for that, they want the most amount of money from their house, and they want speed without hassles.Agents today cannot deliver because buyers that are cash qualified ask sellers for lots of things, ask sellers to pay for things that sellers don't want to pay for.And a lot of sellers are cash-strapped, so they can't pay cash to fix the things of the house, and they don't want repairs on credit cards.So number 1 mistake ready fire aim.This is what I do when I train new or experienced real estate investors: I teach them to talk to sellers 1st, then I teach them the write out of letter of intent to purchase or lease real estate.I love pretty houses that need no work that have little equity, because the sellers are stuck, and there's 20 million low equity houses in the United States.

Mine was a PITA, it had been modified and raced at Riverside, it overheated in traffic, even in 20 minutes at 40mph wasn't enough to keep it cool, and that's not counting the electrical gremblins that ran through it. traded for a '57 modified 327, 4 speed.

Tesla's are cool, but because of the tech, and the speed that tech moves, in my view it's basically a smartphone that will be far behind in 5 years.

the easiest thing to get into and understand is the Vanilla transaction IE buying rental property.. everyone can understand it and it is a VERY VERY simple concept.. buy a property rent it out.... end of mental math.choosing wisely is important of course.but basically there is so much more to real estate than owning a rental.. and much of it quite a bit more profitable than rentals as well.Some people just don't want to be landlords... ergo you have people that invest in debt.. and COC debt is usually more profitable than rentals with quite a bit less hassle.there is development deals for the more sophisticated.there is flippingthere is new construction.Timeshares.Timbermortgage industry Guru / Trainer Mobilehome parksTiny homes ( new thingee that is getting some speed)Land business recreational and path of progresscourthouse steps buying and resellingTax sales/ pre and poston and on and on... so just because someone does not want to do the most simple transaction out there and the one that takes the least amount of thinking to understand the concept.. does not mean they won't do something else in and around real estate

(although that's not always the case because sometimes seller(s) are looking for speed in closing and less red tape rather than full price).
