DEAL OR NO DEAL

Where do I even start about my first Real Estate deal it has had more ups and downs than an elevator.  I am so happy that I have a great mentor because without Elizabeth San Miguel my 1st deal would have been dead a long time ago.  Know matter how crazy  your first or any deal is just realize there is always someone that has been through all this before so don't be afraid to ask.  It's is important to surround yourself with these people that have experience under their belt because most likely they have seen and done it all.  When finding a mentor/colleague's make sure that you have similar personalities.  What I mean by that is if you are an aggressive person you want your mentor to be aggressive so you both can approach a deal with the same mind set.  Or if you are more passive person surround yourself with mentors/colleagues that go about business in that same way.  This will help you be comfortable with the advice you are getting that makes a deal go that much smoother.  I won't get into details about my first deal but after looking at 30+ houses and having two houses fall through the only one to keep me grounded was my mentor.  She gave me the right advice and kept my mind focused on the bigger picture instead of getting frustrated with bad agents. One should never lose focus on what the bigger picture is which are your clients and that's the only people that should matter.
