Well hello Rosa
Lets start with your circumstances. The real estate market doesnt care who you are, or what your life is like. What the market cares about and ultimately what will decide if you make a plie of money is the amount of effort that you put into making it as an investor, and the knowledge that you accumulate.
I have seen investors make it big and I have seen investors flop. Some of the best known real estate investors came from nothing. Ron LeGrand was an auto mechanic, Robyn Thompson was a waitress, Dr. Albert Lowry was an unemployed immigrant. I can go on for hours. Where you start really doesnt matter. I am not saying that to discourage you, I want to encourage you.
What we do is pretty simple when you boil it all down. We create our own oppertunities because we know more about real estate than normal people know. The reason that we are able to do this is because we have taken the time to learn the techniques of successful real estate investors who went before us. Then we took action, and failed, and failed again, and we keep taking action until we succeed. There is no magic here, just an unstoppable desire to achieve financial success and a commitment to learn.
You can do this. you can provide any life that you wish. It is not easy and it will not happen overnight, but I promise you that you can do this.
to your success
Josh
