If you need a refresher on my background, I was a burned-out landscaper 14 years ago. I had:

No money (OK, that's not totally true; I did have a whole $800 in the bank);

No time (that one is definitely true, because each night after a full day of grunting dirt and railroad ties around in my landscaping business, it was all I could do to pop a cool one and collapse in my chair in front of the TV);

No experience. My family didn't know anything about real estate. In fact, I got the "Dave, you're making a big mistake!" speech when I mention real estate.

I didn't "luck into" a fortune. I instead made it using tested and proven systems I developed over time. At first they were crude, but I hate making the same mistake twice, so I got better fast.

Dave Lindahl's Principles of Successful Investing

Have integrity in everything you do

You're not in the real estate business; you're in the marketing

business.

You have to respect yourself in order to get that from others.

Start small, simple, and inexpensively. But start!

Expect to feel a little uneasy at first, and be HAPPY about the fact

that some parts of the business take work.

Be thrifty. Don't be cheap.

Follow my systems before you create your own.

Don't waste time with unmotivated sellers.

Delegate before you think you are ready.

If it works, keep using it; if it doesn't, then tweak it. If it still

doesn't, toss it.

You're marketing to a "moving parade".

Track your activities and results.

Follow Up!

Keep going.
