One of my pet peeves is that so many people go to school, get their degree or certificate, and never use what they have learned in the rest of their life.  Now, if you ask me, that is a waste of their money, time, and they should have left their space in the class for someone who would actually apply what they learned.  In following this belief, I have finally decided to put my real estate investment training to use.

After I finished a number of real estate training programs,  I felt that I had a good grasp of the concepts and that it was time for me to apply what I had learned.  Though I was a little nervous, I assembled a group of advisors to help me out.  Many of these people on my team had decades of experience, so I thought that I would be in good hands.

We were looking at a handful of deals everyday, but none of them showed any real promise.  Most people would have just bought something for the sake of doing it, but I wanted to keep my emotions out of the picture and pick a property based on value and nothing else.

Just two days ago, a deal came across my desk that looked tempting.  After crunching the numbers, we decided to put in an offer.  We will know on Monday if our offer was accepted, but I feel great knowing that I was able to put my education to use.
