The lessons, traits and practices that underpin a successful real-estate investing strategy are the same as those for a successful life strategy: passion, patience, diligence, flexibility, perseverance, confidence, finding the right partners, overcoming disappointment, a positive outlook. Alan Schnurman has learned and lived by these principles, and discovered how to fill his professional and personal lives with great successes: success in real estate investing, success as a businessperson, success as a partner and husband and father and friend.
From South Street Seaport to Sagaponack, Park Slope in Brooklyn to the slopes of Aspen, Alan has found the power in becoming an aggregator of knowledge and learning as if life is forever. He had nobody to teach him all this. The readers of I Can, I Will, I Must, by good fortune, have Alan to show how his lessons and experience apply to real-estate investing, yes, but also to an entire approach to living that is fulfilling, rewarding and will make you a richer person on every level.
Filled with Alans stories of some of the biggest real estate developments in the history of the Hamptons, of rising from a poor childhood in Brooklyn to becoming a successful lawyer, TV and internet content pioneer, renowned Hamptons broker, marathon runner, Mount Everest explorer and more, I Can, I Will, I Must is a must-read for anyone looking for inspiration for investing in real estate and their own success and happiness.
