Super embarrassing story from many years ago before I learned the value of being over the top organized.
I was buying a bunch of vacant lots in the same city for $10-15k and building 250-300k starter homes. We were buying 8-10 lots per month.
A year in and the strategy was going well. It was taking about 6 months to build each house, and we were making about $70k profit on each home.
I found one lot that looked like a good one for us to buy, so I told my team to find out who the owner was so we could make an offer.
It was me. I was the owner. I had bought it a year ago.
Side note for those looking to organize their life. I have found a task tracking tool called Things that is incredible. I use it on my iPhone and Mac. Game changer if you do it right.
