0028 A Typical Work Day While Investing With A Full Time Job

Here I go over my typical workday, incorporating a full time job with real estate investing. Its not necessarily easy or truly hard, however there are some adjustments you may need to make to your daily operations and thinking, so you can be effective and not get in trouble on the job about your outside activities. Enjoy!

**at 2:45 I said I started to go to work at 11 am, I meant to say I started to go to lunch at 11am, so I can catch contractors administrative assistants before they left for their own lunch. *Sorry if I repeated myself regarding calling during the earlier part of the week versus the later part. However, its the most important lesson I have learned, and one not written in any books.

    Hi Lisa, Have you ever used a General Contractor? If so, did it not work well? If not, why aren’t you using one?

    Hi Mailman! Yes, this last house I used a General Contractor. It went about 80$ well, 20% caused me to blow a fuse. I did not use one before because in order to save money, i did the work myself. However, as each year I was able to acquire more lines of credits/funding because of my credit improving, I am at a point now and in the future for paying the premium on a GC. However, I have a lot of posts coming up regarding Contractors….

    Lol, great vid! I work three full-time jobs, so I don’t have a lot of time
    on my hands. But I have used the fact that I work so much as a resource to
    network and accrue an ever-growing team of novice RE investors”///” to
    hopefully compensate my lack of time. They might not be as proactive, due
    diligent and as motivated as I am, (and some say that as a result, I sort
    of fell into a leadership role amongst them), but I really feel that each
    and every one of them have something significant to bring to the “round”
    table. So, my question is: Think of my team just like your list of goto,
    star-contractors that you love working with. What “team-leader/managerial”
    tips could you provide to keep my team organized, motivated, passionate and
    time-management savvy as we both already are? It’s funny, I actually have a
    little notepad for each job and one personal one and a 5th for business
    endeavors/entrepreneur brainstorming ideas. I know, it’s a bit much; but I
    kid you not, every one of those notebooks are a lifesaver.
