  2. Buy at Market Value – Beginners almost always buy property straight off the MLS for market value.
  3. Fall in love with a deal and get your emotions involved – Many beginners are guilty of this one. Their first few deals they spend minimal time finding a deal. As soon as a prospect is located, they fall in love and do anything to get that property.
