Just quit my job- and you can too.

I've been investing in my area for about 15 years. I don't have a ton of properties and definitely did it with very little, if any cash. It's true, real estate is a get rich slow scheme. Yesterday was my last day as an employee, and I could not be more excited about spending more time doing what I want, with who I want, and on real estate. A couple things I was hoping to discuss. First and foremost; if I can do this, ANYONE can.

Second- everyone will have a different feeling about this, but I think there really is one essential trait a person with average means must have in order to be successful in real estate. I don't want to throw my answer out there, I'd like to see what others think is the single most important trait you need to be successful in RE.

Happy hunting!
