Most people are :-Terrified of anything that is potentially risky with money - naturally cynical and negative toward new things - fearful of what they don’t understand Knowing this ..your best bet is to write your goals on a piece of paper and tell no one .

Other ones that I have changed my life and my way of thinking are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Four Hour Workweek, and The Miracle Morning. 

It makes it much harder to get rid of poor tenants that are abiding by lease terms.

And then I got the real estate bug when I read “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, It was like I was asleep all those years and I finally woke up!

I knew my budget was going to be low because we aren't paid very much in the military so I decided that living in a fixer-upper was going to be my best bet.

Yes, another Rich Dad, Poor Dad reader that had his eyes opened towards a new way of thinking.

But if I put on my "investor" hat, overlooked areas are often much more profitable.Unless I'm missing some crucial details about path-of-progress or something, this appears to be an average purchase for an owner-occupant, but a poor purchase for an investor. 

Funny enough, one of my take aways from reading Rich dad poor dad, is that I dont have to wear every hat.

Most of my clients have base hits properties and I bet the ones that @Matt M. referred too as well have a lot of base hits. 

I bet a lot.
