2 years and hitting my stride!
It has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. I started real estate investing over 2 years ago. We started with $1000 in marketing and closed a $10,500 wholesale deal 6 six weeks later. Between then and now we lost money on our first flip and went months at a time without closing a deal. It was not all roses and rainbows. Fast forward till today. I have closed 8 deals in 2017, I have 9 more properties in the works from just under contract to rehabbed and listed on MLS, and I own 4 rentals. I plan to continue wholesaling/wholetailing/flipping and by the end of this year begin marketing for my first multi unit or storage unit. Persistence, Focus, and team building has led me to finding some success. Let the motivated sellers ring and may 2017 be our best year yet!!!!

@Ryan Billingsley - Congrats on the success. The fact that you stuck it out is such a huge thing. In the start-up world they talk about "fake it until you make it" @Brandon Turner calls this "hustle". Whatever it is that you want to call it...at the end of the day it's about just getting things done that you have no business getting done, and once you develop even a small amount of momentum...making that mindset shift from scarcity to abundance.
We're starting to see some accelerated growth in our business recently as well (this has kept me off BP for longer than it should have)...so I'm looking forward to having a similar success story in the near future.
Cheers and continued success!
