Real Estate is like baking cookies because:
1. Research is key.
2. You must gather all information (ingredients) before you begin.
3. Care (measuring) must be taken during all steps.
4. You must be patient and attentive during the escrow (baking) process.
5. You get to enjoy the fruits of your labor for many years (days).

I would add a #6 to your list. The more you bake, the more cookies you will have for you and your family to enjoy. The more real estate you buy, the more wealth you and your family will enjoy over time.
What a perfect example to share this aspect of real estate. Yum Yum! I am hungry for cookies & for investments in real estate.
