The Creative Investor - “NEWBIE NEEDS HELP!!” (Why I love those guys)

I am always happy to see a post here that reads “Newbie needs help!!”, or “Help Please”, or “First Deal and I have no idea what the hell I’m doing!!”
Why you ask? Because it simply means somebody did something. Right or Wrong there was action taken. Even if the deal went to hell, or the “Newbie” goes bankrupt in the process,

some positive effort was put forth. Hopefully with all of the input from the wonderful people on this board, the deal will be a success, but you never know in this business. But the most important thing is that there was valuable experience accumulated through ACTION.
There are two types of people on this board, investors and imposters. That’s right, even if you are brand new to this type of investing, but you are willing to put in the time and effort required, you are a Real Estate Investor. If you Talk the Talk, but are not willing to Walk the Walk, you are an imposter. Plain and simple.

John Locke is no smarter than any of you. He simply developed a system, and USED IT! Now everyone respects him and his opinion. Why? Does he have more hours in the day than you? No. Was he born with more intelligence than you? No. I don’t think he had more advantages in life than anyone else. He simply wanted to make a better life for himself and his family. HE TOOK ACTION. I use John as an example, but this can apply to anyone else here.

I have always been a firm believer that doing something is always better than doing nothing. If you need help, there is always help available. The Bible says “The meek shall inherit the earth.” This may be true, but I always say; “The procrastinator will finish last.”

“All the problems become smaller if you don’t dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, its spines crumble.”
-William S. Halsey

“Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.”
