Hello everyone!
I'm Chris Farrugia and I'm a Realtor from Southwest Florida. I'm really anxious to become an active participant in the forums here and love that there are so many people willing to share their knowledge, experiences and expertise to raise us all up. Hopefully I'll be able to chime in with my own advice.
I'm in a bit of a unique experience because my background is actually in Finance and Accounting. I'm really hoping that I'll be able to help with questions on capital budgeting, ROI, IRR and the like.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
2. Develop your own business strategy. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades" Even though I am.
3. Grow your business by developing your business plan. - Remember there is a difference between goals and a plan. http://www.biggerpockets.com/files
4. Locate and attend several different local REIAs as they’re great opportunities to network and meet wholesalers, lenders, and contractors.
5. Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!
6. Spend some time every day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet
