Arise early each morning and read for 30 to 60 minutes in your field. Attend every seminar and course you possibly can.

Head nodding is an excellent tool for creating rapport, getting agreement and cooperation. By finishing each sentence with a verbal affirmation such as, 'Isn't it?', 'Wouldn't you?', 'Isn't that true?' or 'Fair enough?', and with the speaker and listener both nodding their heads, the listener experiences positive feelings which create a greater likelihood of getting them to agree with you.  [2004] - Allan Pease

"Slumlord properties" tend to be located where surrounding conditions make it difficult, if not impossible, to attract higher rents and better-quality tenants. It may be in a neighborhood where surrounding properties have deteriorated; or road, railroad, or industrial noise is a problem; or in a high crime area. These factors make the property undesirable regardless of condition. Our advice: If you don't feel comfortable walking in the neighborhood and talking to the people who live there, don't invest. Avoid properties with undesirable surroundings. Instead, buy undesirable properties with superior surroundings. [2004] - Mike Summey

While housing construction is a key driver, it tends to lag behind any increased demand for housing due to the significant lead time required to build, especially in larger centers where condominium buildings make up the majority of starts. This lag usually results in an eventual oversupply that persists long after the demand for housing dissipates. Therefore, construction levels tend to peak at the end of the boom phase and through at the middle to end of the slump phase. [2011] - Don R. Campbell
