Although not a phone conversation or lunch meeting, BP is a great forum for picking up techniques of very succesful investors. Contributors like Nick and James and many others are typically willing to share openly. We have all probably heard at some time to surround yourself with positive successful people and to learn from others success. Thanks Shae, this is a well expressed reminder. Great post and comments.

I have found that most, if not all of us enjoy talking about ourselves. So taking the time to listen to other successful people, will be a huge benefit.Personally I took the stance of asking, "If you were to start all over again, what would you NOT do again? Also, what is the one item that you felt was the largest key to your success?" Great info, and absolutely correct. I have found that most, if not all of us enjoy talking about ourselves.

Hi Shae,

Yet again, I very nice article! :)

Your point number 7 is HUGE, in my mind.

I learned to ask this question of all real estate investors that were doing better than I was. Since I felt that there was so much knowledge that I could learn from these individual investors, I wanted to have a few key points as a take away from them.

If you ask this question (point number 7) of experienced real estate investors, they will usually share with you ‘their secret to success’.

This is the one underlining principal that they feel contributed towards their success. Often times you will get one sentence from the investor.

This was helpful to me, as I could remember exactly what their secret was, since it was basically summarized in a single sentence.

Best Regards,
Neil
