Why have others given up? (conversation starter)

Good evening all,

   Just trying to get a conversation started about why others have given up in the past. I know many people who are interested in real estate, some pursue it, but many many decide not to do it after a little bit. Two of my friends did this, and their reason was mostly the same, they didn't know what to do next. 

What would you all say is the biggest reason (you have seen) that keeps people from getting started??

Cheers,

Andrew

@Andrew Angerer they start with unrealistic expectations. They find out the reality, it is hard, it takes money, it has risk.
