    Mindset of Hustler

    Very good article. What I keep reading is how a lot of people (like this guy) who have become "successful" did so out of necessity. That is, they were "on their last dime" or only had "two nickels to rub together" or worse. They were literally at rock bottom. Even many people's...

    Rental Marketing Tricks

    MARKETING 
    Also, I wanted to add that in addition to plenty of pictures (the more the better - including pictures of community points-of-interest, like parks, pool, lake) in the Craigslist ad, I also include a copy of the floor plan, including dimensions. I add this to the flyers as well. This gives...

    Original Pong and Atari 2600 player here, too. However, when the Commodore64 came out it blew everything else away. Too bad their marketing team sucked bricks.

    Rental Marketing Tricks

    MARKETING 
    All of these are excellent ideas. Craigslist is my main source for leads, also - along with a yard sign. I also open the blinds to the house and tape a flyer to the front window, and place my flyer box next to the house (so the people will get out of the vehicle and walk to the house, which...

    Goal setting.

    HOT! 
    Yes, and when you go to review your goals (that is, look at the handwritten words you wrote), it also sparks a psychological connection with your subconscious that typed/printed words cannot do. That is IF you can make out your handwriting. :smx4:

    New Home Builders

    REAL ESTATE 
    My wife have been looking the last couple months for a new house. Our search has taken us from foreclosures, to retail resales properties, and on to new home builders. What we are finding is that in this slow economy, many new home builders are drastically cutting into their list price and/or...

    Raising your kids for success

    I know many people on here watch Donny Duetsch's show "The Big Idea". I ran across the following on his web site a couple of weeks ago, and thought it would be good to share to other folks here who have children and are thinking of ways to set them on a path to financial freedom. Raise Your...

    WTF: Buyers who don't have any money!?!?!

    Why not do a wrap/AITD and finance the whole thing for him at 3-4% above your rate for 2-3 years?

    My new website (opinions please)!!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Geez. I can only imagine what I was doing at 18 (certainly not planning my financial future). You're probably going to be one of those millionaire 20-something year olds we read about (if not before). Excellent vision and great site!

    What do US residents think about "safety bracelets"?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Somehow, I don't see this part of it ever materializing. The ACLU would be all over it as would just about any safety/security pundit.

    Goal setting.

    HOT! 
    The absolute #1 step in writing goals that I've found is to WRITE down the goals. Don't use a word processor; don't use a typewriter - WRITE them down with a pen/pencil on a sheet of paper with YOUR own hands. There is a psychological connection that occurs that is missing doing it any other way.

    Good job. I like how you staged the house. Simple, yet effective. Not sure about the air mattress, though. Maybe throw a comforter over it??? :)

    What NOT to do as a real estate investor

    I think it is good once you have about 10+ rentals or so to manage, but its all a matter of personal preference as some may not have the time or inclination while others don't mind it at all.

    What NOT to do as a real estate investor

    ALWAYS DO A BACKGROUND CHECK! BTW, you can actually MAKE money doing this. I was filling my latest rental in May and had 5 serious prospects. I collected $35/ea from them and ran background checks that cost me $25. One was overwhelmingly better than the others. Result ... ( $35 - $25 ) x 5...

    The End of Money

    In many ways he is correct. Society seems to take a Lazzai Faire (sp?) approach to things like: thinking about tomorrow. People get up, realize they need gas, go to the corner store, pump the gas into their car, and drive off - never to think anything about gas again until the next time they...

    Just closed on my first "subject to" property

    REAL ESTATE 
    Nice outline, rcardin. A couple of points I'll add ... 1. Having a blood relative as a trustee is ok, but there is a small chance that a judge could void the trust (so I've heard). It may be better to choose a person who is not in your family to be the trustee (e.g., RE attorney) just to be...

    Turning on utilities for home inspection. Buyer or seller?

    REAL ESTATE 
    From the extract, I'd say it's the Seller's responsibility ... Since the utilities are not provided for an inspection then the contract can be terminated by you, the Buyer. Edit: If you really want the house, you may be able to negotiate the electrician's fee by offering to pay for it (at...
