Property Investment Poem
We thought you would like this Property Investors’ poem
below…
“I hesitate to make a list, of all the countless deals I’ve missed;
Bonanzas that were in my grip, I watched them through my fingers slip;
The windfalls which I should have bought, were lost because I over thought
I thought of this, I thought of that, I could have sworn I smelled a rat;
And while I thought things over twice, another grabbed them at the price;
It seems I always hesitate, then make up my mind when it’s much too late;
A very cautious man am I, and that is why I never buy;

When Tucson was cheap desert land, I could’ve had a heap of sand;
When Phoenix was the place to buy, I thought the climate was much too dry;
“Invest in Dallas – That’s the spot!” But my sixth sense warned me I should not.
The golden chances I had then, are lost and will not come again.
Today I cannot be enticed, for in 1977 everything is so overpriced.
The deals of yesteryear are dead, the market’s soft and so’s my head.
At times a teardrop drowns my eye, for the deals I had but did not buy;
And now life’s saddest words I pen, If only I’d invested then!"

I'm not going to be one of these investors in 2012! Find those deals and make me some cahflow!!
Ha! Yes, how many of us have stories of all the deals we have missed?!
I'm just glad I started at 27
But wait a minute, 17 would have been better!
And it's definitely better to regret a deal you did that a deal you didn't
– as long as you keep investing!
Rob
If I am honest I have had a few this year! Determined to make next year mine…with your guys help
Planning it all now…
FAIL to PREPARE, PREPARE to FAIL!
So true Rob and not just in property investing, regret something you have done rather than what you haven't, otherwise it will haunt you for a long time!
