Explanation

Each cost that discussed here has its own length. One can argue on it. However, this is from an experience. Sometimes, you have to be careful when you argue costs with the labour. They will shut down the operation and you will be in shambles and simply looking for other contractors. This will raise your operation budget and the time to finish the project. You have to understand that creation is not easy. Patience is the key.

Behaviour Aspects

1. Property investment is an emotional investment
2. Buying property because everyone is doing it
3. Get rich overnight
4. Tax advantages

Examples

Advisors

I usually hire real estate advisors and pay them in advance. Why? I know that I will call my advisor on a minute basis to get information on a real estate. I want to make sure that the advisor is not annoyed by my repeated calls in 30 minutes. In simple English, I am basically purchasing their minutes to answer me and explain what I need to learn.

Underestimate

The faster you move; the faster you close the deals, the faster you make money. Never underestimate anyone when it comes to investing. As an investor, your job is to gather information and not judge. Well, we shouldn’t be judging anyone anyway.

Clone Yourself

Paying in advance is more like a top up thing. You have to make sure whoever you hire are happy to work with you. You have to treat them as you. They are working for you. They are your shadows. So, you basically you clone yourself in to different human being. However, the goal remains the same. Each person is doing a specific task to gather information.
