When investing in real estate there are many mistakes that a new investor might make. If you make a bad enough mistake when investing in real estate it may discourage you or you can even end up in financial trouble. One mistake that you might make as a new real estate investor is thinking that most people will be willing to do an unconventional deal. Most people want to do things the conventional way even if what you propose can greater benefit them. If you are trying to buy property unconventionally, just prepare to hear no more than you hear yes. If you are persistent and don't get discouraged you will usually find a seller that is willing to work with you. http://realestatefacttips.blogspot.com/2009/09/common-mistakes-new-real-estate.html
