THE QUICK KILL
There is a great emphasis
today when looking at real es
tate to look for the quick kill
and the fast buck. There are
hundreds of seminars, books,
videos and cable television
programs devoted to ways of
getting rich quick in real es
tate.
Although it’s no secret that
many people have done very
well in buying and selling real
estate, the vast majority have
worked very hard at it, had to
endure some hardships along
the way, and did not make a
8 Y K E !
lot of money overnight.
Most of the headline-grab
bing gimmicks don’t really
work, or work in such rare in
stances that you could chase
them for years before making
a dime. The surest way to
make money in real estate is
to start by buying your own
home and then making sound
investments in other properties
as your resources allow. Con
sulting a real estate profes
sional and getting tried and
true assistance and advice is
the way that the majority make
money in real estate.
