EPISODE 031:
My 10 Biggest Mistakes as a Real Estate Investor

Categories:
Strategy & Tips 
​Description & Show Notes:
In this Episode, I go over my 10 Biggest Mistakes in my 20+ years of being a Real Estate Investor in Auburn.  It's easier to for each of us to remember the mistakes that caused us to lose money or to be super stressed.  They get embedded in our brains and come out as "common sense" from that point on, right?  But if you haven't made these mistakes yet, then maybe they aren't common sense for you.  So I'm here to pull back the curtain a little, and share some of my mistakes in order to help prevent you from making them yourself. 

Let's get real... making mistakes is part of this business.  If you think you will get through a career as a Real Estate Investor without making them, you are either naive or arrogant, and I predict some expensive lessons in your future!  So let me be your tour guide, and tell you how to get where you want to go with as little trouble as possible.
