I will always help if able with advice and guidance.  It is just a function of time, and awareness into that market, it's laws, and such.  

Embrace change and learning as reality and "surf" it to learning, networks, systems, software, processes that culminate in diverse earning opportunities.  Learning at the front end equips you with a toolbox of skills and abilities to monetize more opportunities that may otherwise pass you by.  Look to help others and realize when you do this goodwill comes back to you time and time again.  

Realize that developing your communication skills are both a shield and a sword as you look to build an empire.  

Lastly, values have value.  People you can trust w/o excessive management / oversight are worth more than the cheapest contractor.  Thus talk in terms of value and never cost.  Cost is a subset of value.  Value is not a subset of cost.  

Try Tiffany Walker at Lawton Realty Group--580-355-3355!  She manages for me!

Whew...  there is so much to this post to convey.  To say that the worlds of now versus the late 80s are total different in terms of the ability to communicate to the masses as well as the cost of borrowed money!  

I would learn derivatives (wraps, subject to, lease options, owner financing, assumptions,  REOs haggled directly with the banks and cross collateralization to name a few).  I would study marketing religiously and video journalize each learning moment (good or bad) for posterity.  I would apply technology to its fullest throughout the entire acquisition and management cycle.  I would use virtual assistants as soon as I had something to scale and look to scale each facet of the business.  

86,400 seconds in each day.  I would learn, play, and work EACH day to maintain the passionate love affair with real estate.

I would ask more questions of others, their processes, their jobs, their investment methodology and get more connective learning and understanding of the big picture...  and so much more...

What would you do differently?  What do you need help on newbies...?
  

Thank You!  What tasks have you been able to successfully delegate?
