Getting Started as a Real Estate Entrepreneur

by Attorney William Bronchick

Whether you are new to real estate, or have reached a “plateau,” the following will help “jump-start” your real estate investing career.

Surround Yourself With Like-Minded People
“Creative” real estate is non-traditional, which means that most people don’t do it this way. Thus, most people you speak with will tell you it won’t work. If you tell them you heard it in a seminar or a course you bought from a late-night television “guru,” they will laugh and call you “gullible.” Attorneys and other professionals will denounce it, because it sounds unusual. Keep in mind that these people are either threatened by their own lack of success or are looking to protect their own butts.

What do I get for the fee that I pay? These are all questions that will help you to get the most out of your real estate appraisal.

Once you have done your homework, you can probably get an accurate real estate appraisal. But even if you think that you hired a reliable appraiser, things do not always work out like this. For this reason, you have to closely look over the report
