Code Chapter 47 - Fraud And False Statements, which is a very boring read, unless it applies to you.Please don’t do that.Make sure your Proof of Funds source has the funds and that you are authorized to use those funds and the source will vouch for you in court.If you are going to buy “Turnkey” it is recommended you visit the actual neighborhood and actual house before closing.Things can be very different in person.Afterwards is too late.You may not like what you seeGo with the Math, not the emotions or hopes of the futureIf you are losing money with the hopes of making it up later, you should seriously reconsider.Wishful thinking is a poor investment.Interest rates are going upAnd interest rates are going down.And interest rates are remaining the same.There is no clear direction for rates and there are arguments for going each direction – buy so that your property cash flows, even if you are wrong.Ignoring your workers.Always serve your workers pizza on the job.It keeps them on-site so they don’t wander offThey will think you actually care and will work harderYou get to become “one of the boys” and they will tell you things you need to knowHmmm, out of space, but not out of mistakes.
