Is real estate investing for you? Probably it is and maybe it isn’t. Hopefully this book will provide you with an idea of what the waters of real estate investing are like, and whether you will be able first to keep yourself afloat and second whether you can actually make progress swimming in all of these waters. “Do you keep in mind what it's like to learn how to swim? What do you first do once you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and once you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and a number of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim! Well - life is just very much the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making faults, for there's no other  technique for learning how to live!” Real-estate investing is not a make money fast scheme. It's a field in which discipline, dedication and devotion all come into play: Discipline: The methods described within this book are  competencies  to be learned. You can not become an expert overnight in this or other field. Still, if you've the self discipline to learn as much as you can about this field you'll find yourself making decisions which make sense and investments which make cash. And as this field is ever-changing and needs the discipline of life-long learning, the foundational principles are basic and unchanging. It's to all of these principles that you should be dedicated. Dedication: Real Estate investment is much different from selling widgets. You are investing in the houses in which families live. Kids will grow up in all of these houses. College students and military veterans will come back to such houses. Couples will grow old in all of these houses. These homes will be the places wherein arise celebrations of family life, national holidays and religious milestones. You're investing in neighborhoods in which kids will play and grow - hopefully in the protection and security. These neighborhoods will be so to the extent that you help build them via your investment decisions. As you make selections regarding your real-estate investments, be dedicated to such higher goals. Devotion: Making money through real estate investments may be one of your goals. I encourage you to let it be a goal that serves a larger and deeper mission in life. You can certainly make a difference in this world through real-estate investment if you connect this rewarding activity with your mission in life. Yes, your mission, your purpose, your calling. Make it your mission in life to increase  instead of to tear down, to do the suitable thing rather than the wrong thing. Go the distance to make things right for families and neighborhoods and you will find yourself rewarded both materially and in means that are more essential than silver or gold.
