I would like to set a meet up group in the Orlando area so like minded investors can get together on a regular basis for networking and master mind discussions on both their challenges and triumphs in investment, specifically in the distressed mortgage note buying business.

This is before even the problem that these techniques and strategies work only in a limited number of opportunities, and these opportunities can only be recognized by someone with knowledge of real estate principles, law and finance. interestingly, what seems to sell nowadays is this pop cultural belief that education in anything but specific techniques is worthless; that something called motivation, combined with a positive mindset and an unwillingness to accept reality will triumph over anything else and lead to massive success.  

We all have success and failure stories, we all have reasons why we struggle, have triumphed, and have also had our a$$es handed back to us on plates.  

.- The Godfather - No, I don't recommend "an offer they can't refuse" as a REI strategy, but it has some great lessons in suffering setbacks and losses with grace and dignity, and the triumph of a consistent strategy and interpersonal relationships over impulsive decisions and use of force.

I’m so glad I learned how to invest by on-the-job training working for/with investors and seeing their triumphs and mistakes, and not falling for any of these “gurus” and their $10k programs.

Reach out to triumph, they've been absolutely fabulous on my other property I bought through crestcore.

There will also be wonderful triumphs along the way.

By maximizing its potential, bragging about my triumphs, chronicling my investment travels, and recruiting a dedicated team member for social media management, I've increased my reach and attracted a slew of wealthy investors

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming…; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”Theodore Roosevelt (From speech titled: The Man in the Arena: Citizenship in a Republic)
