Hey Everyone, Eleven years ago at the age of 29, a man by the name of Joshua Dorkin came up with an idea to create a community of real estate investors for the purpose of helping YOU learn how to invest in real estate.His vision, relentless perseverance, integrity, and passion resulted in what is now the world's largest online platform for real estate investors, BiggerPockets.Today is Joshua Dorkin's 40th birthday (Don't be afraid to let him know how old he is getting :).

Lo, I ponder why he gave up when I had the will to persevere.

Perseverance, perseverance and perseverance.

I'm glad you're not being discouraged that your offers are getting rejected, our industry does take perseverance and if none of your offers are being rejected, you're overpaying.What are you going to focus on?

It is not easy but with some hard work, belief in yourself, some faith and perseverance they do pay off.  

@Miranda Simon have a bias for action and persevere  

In order to obtain homes in a competitive market, be open to investigating various financing options.Off-Market Deals: Take the initiative to look for off-market deals by using internet resources, direct mail campaigns, or money-driven searches to locate motivated sellers who might be willing to sell their homes for less than market value.In the end, success in the SLC real estate market comes from perseverance, understanding the market, and being flexible enough to adjust to shifting circumstances.

I will persevere and get it completed.

There are many other pieces to this puzzle, but not desire, nor guts, nor partnerships or market cycles, nor perseverance can take place of knowledge...obscene amounts of knowledge.God luck to all!

Way to persevere and figure out how to make it happen.
