Frustrated

[Account Closed]

So I have been looking at properties for about two months now and have made some offers. Unfortunately, I'm either getting beat out by someone who puts in a offer a day or two before me or being beat out by a higher offer. I am starting to look again, but I'm getting frustrated. I guess I'm just looking for some cheerleaders to tell me that it takes a while to get that first property under my belt.

Any advice would be helpful too.

Stick with it, Simon . . . as they say, it is a marathon, not a sprint. Stick to your numbers and don't relent. That's the key mistake many newbies make - lose patience and take a deal that wasn't one.
