If you are new and building your real estate business on the side, WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?

I have a really good full-time job that is helping me invest in real estate on the side.

I m also in grad school, and sometimes doing all three is beyond exhausting. However, I m finding my unhappiness at work is fueling my drive to push thru with real estate.

I m not at a position to go full-time just yet, so when I m exhausted and unmotivated the first thing I think about quitting is my real estate education or training, until something crazy happens at work馃槀. Its almost like my job is motivating my real estate

鈾︼笍鈾︼笍Please don't misunderstand me, the negative pull is NOT the only thing that motivates my real estate investing. I belive in the principle of building wealth over an income. Those negative Emotions are proving useful when I m soo exhausted and have nothing left to give.鈾︼笍鈾︼笍

     That's definitely a lot for one person to juggle so I get why you become discouraged at times. But for me, it all goes back to my "why" as I have a very clear vision for the future and I know exactly where I'm going. RE investing will (and is) allowing me to get there! If you know what you're investing for and if your "why" is strong enough then you should be able to push through the hard times!

    Financial freedom- retiring early- just the overall rush- always looking for deals and potential to make money

    Being able to retire early and having financial freedom at some point is my motivation.  I like my full time job.  I enjoy what I do.  But the thought of having to work until I'm 67 (or possibly more than that) gives me plenty of motivation to stay involved in real estate investing.
