1. Bring your lunch instead of eating out. If you spend $5.00 every day on your lunch and you brown bag it only 3 days a week, you will save $15.00 per week. That's $60.00 per month!

2. Do you take a break every morning and afternoon at work and pop your change into a soft-drink machine! Buy your canned drinks at grocery store and bring to work. I buy brand name soft drinks on sale at 22 cents each. At work, machine charges 50 cents. That's a big savings! If you buy generic soft drinks savings would be even greater.

Or you could just drink water--big savings plus it's good for you!

3. If you love to read, don't run out and buy that new bestseller, check your local library. If they don't have it, ask. Most libraries are part of inter-library loan programs and can get almost any book.

One of most fascinating things I have ever found about real estate investing is found in fact that you do not need to be buyer or seller to make money. How, you might ask?

There have been times in my life that people I have “looking out for a good deal for me” are too productive, they find something really attractive, a motivated seller or whatever, but I just can not get deal done. Maybe I am involved in too many at that time, maybe I just don’t want to touch a deal of that size, whatever.

But I do not want to pass up a chance at some extra cash, so what can I do? Easy, I look to my list for another buyer/investor. If you want to make money, you need to develop a list of like minded people over time.
