Let’s do a quick self-evaluation. On a scale of one to ten, how good do you consider yourself with money?
There’s a lot of different criteria that could go into your answer. If you really think hard about it and try to answer honestly, it might take some time to come to a conclusion. If we’re honest with ourselves, most of us have weaknesses when it comes to money management.
Getting into the real estate business can be a daunting thought. Not becasue you dont have the passion or mindset to be great...it's mostly due to lack of experience (especially when negotiating deals). That is one of the main reasons that Turnkey real estate investing became so popular.
There aren’t that many people out there that can say that they truly, genuinely enjoy the process of a real estate negotiation. It’s tedious, there are all these concessions to make, back-and-forth, and it might not even pay off.

Here in Memphis, we’ve had amazing weather lately...I'm talking about 70 degrees, clear skies and sunshine. Yep, that kind of awesome.
There is something about spring weather that gets you excited. Whether it's firing up the grill, taking your kids to the park or finally mastering your golf game...(good luck with that.) Warmer weather has always been this great sign of things to come.
We all can have a tendency to work too hard, push a little too much and fail to take time out to enjoy what we've accomplished.
