If you do,  put your money where your mouth is and move forward and do it!    

You are placing your money where your mouth is.In the buy and hold scenario, I only buy QUALITY Investments.You can imagine what quality means.

Eventhough the post is old, I'll chime in with something my mother (a long-time LL) taught me:When a tenant asks for something, the first word out of your mouth should be no.

Realtors need to inform their broker of ANY type of transaction they may want to get involved with, they hold your license are if you open your mouth about real estate, dealing privately or otherwise, they are still responsible for what you might be pulling in public.

You will find a lot of your team members at these meetings that will be willing to help you but you have to open your mouth and let them know.

They should know that when you call, you are serious and that your money is where your mouth is.

Some day, after you've done a couple of flips, your best friend will take notice and realize that you put your money where your mouth is.

Those will give you sleepless nights and cause bile to burble up in your mouth when you write checks.You can take some gambles when you have a deep enough portfolio to support the misses, but when you're starting out, you really need that first one to be right, even if it means biding your time and continuing to build your war chest.The worst deal I've done recently was one where I convinced myself that I could make the numbers work rather than waiting for a better deal to come along.

You know they are not comprehending the words coming out of your mouth because they are preoccupied.

“Wholesaling” is not a word that should even come out of your mouth in all likelihood.
