I cannot recall if I had done my first deal prior to joining BP.  I am pretty sure when I joined I was still in my research phase trying to figure it all out.  I remember reading peoples post who were doing multiple deals a month and thinking "How in the world are they doing this, I can barely find a deal that works".

Fast forward to today which marks the end of my most successful month in real estate.  I did a total of 17 deals this month, 6 wholesales and 11 loans.  Though reaching this milestone feels great I know its only the beginning and I will crush these numbers in 2018.  The point of this post is not to brag or boast but to simply share my beliefs on how I got to this point (and rather quickly).  I believe success in real estate is much simpler than people make it out to be.  

Here is what I am not.  I am not super smart, I have no degree in real estate, I had no money to start with, the list goes on.  

Here is what I am.  I am persistent, consistent, and very coach-able.  I listened closely to people who are doing what I want to do even when I didn't understand the reasons behind their advice.  Most of all, I went all in and immersed myself in as much real estate knowledge as I could.   

If you are reading this post, have yet to do a deal and are being held back by fear or uncertainty this post is for you.  We have all been there.  We all had to get over the hurdle of our first deal.  Take the leap, learn and remain steadfast in your goals.  You'll be glad you did.
