3 Quick Tips From Cliff Gager

I’m on a Blogging rampage this afternoon! I’ve had a few blog ideas just floating around this week and decided to hunker down and get them out finally. This will probably be the last one for the day. I’m trying to make a contact with the City of Temecula do discuss real estate signage and whatnot. That one should be really valuable and have lots of information. Of course, getting a hold of someone there isn’t as easy as it sounds. So stay tuned for that one.

Alright, so the other day I was looking at our Facebook and Twitter accounts. I was like…something is missing. I’ve done a good job of sharing photos, testimonials, stories, links to relevant real estate news etc., then it hit me, I hadn’t posted about something educational in awhile.

So I hounded Cliff who was as busy as always and demanded three tips for our students and other real estate investors. Here are three quick tips from Cliff. I hope they help! They are just three quick tips with the intentions of constantly sharpening your real estate investing skills.

1. Always verify your facts yourself. If someone tells you it is ok, make sure it is via a professional. In other words if a realtor tells you it is worth $200K, don't just take their word for it, verify with the Mentorlynx System and/or get an appraisal.

2. When planning to purchase a property, always have an exit strategy ready and in place. Don't wait till the rehab is done to market the sale of the house. Everyone waits which is big mistake.

3. Always buy your boss lunch as it helps get raises faster!

Cliff was trying to be funny on number three. After all, I was hounding him. But what he’s trying to say is that buying people lunch is an easy way to discuss current and future business. You never know, a paid lunch might bring you returns on your investment that you could never imagine. Small gestures go a long way in today’s competitive business environment.
