As with so many things in life, the answer to your investing problems are completely counter intuitive to what you think that they are.I have spoke with Hundreds and hundred of wanna be investors and I can tell you in 99% of the cases the trouble has nothing to do with:The Real Estate Market...The amount of buyers in the market...The prices rising or falling...The amount of information that they've studied....Whether or not you have a business card...Whether or not you send post cards...Whether or not you have a good Realtor...Whether or not you have cash...Whether or not you have credit....Wanna know why most newbie investors fail?

I'm going into my senior year at the Carlson School at the University of Minnesota studying Finance and Entrepreneurial Management.
