One of the most unique aspects of today's RE market is class distinction between the experienced an inexperienced due to the fact that the market has turned downward and caused margins to thin. I think the question on everybody's mind is, "how did you become successful."

I hate to see anybody lose money. The reality is that the RE industry has become an intangible Las Vegas - ambition for riches overcoming logic and good sense. So to all you successful gamblers out there - anybody who has a success story - please share it here. Please keep your stories factful, brief and define the pitfalls you overcame.

LET'S HEAR YOUR STORIES ...
