Getting started but not gaining any traction

[Charles Tucker Kimbrough]

Greetings Bigger Pockets,

My Name is Charles T. Kimbrough I recently moved to Big Sky Montana and have been trying to get a property under contract.  I was able to start a real estate partnership with the owner of a property management company in town and I have read so many success stories in real estate where the investor talked about how the first deal was life altering and propelled them into more and more deals.  But in my case reality hit and in 4 months of submitting offers I still don't have a lead.  But in my case I remain optimistic and have continued to read and learn about how I can create a pattern of success in real estate.  I will not lie I have spent several sleepless nights recently analyzing deals in different states to try and get something going it has been taxing physically and emotionally with lack of sleep and nothing really going my way.  But every morning I wake up and keep trying hoping that eventually my efforts bear fruit. 

About Charles T. Kimbrough:

In May of 2020 I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering. I am a U.S. Marine Corps Officer under contract as a student naval aviator. I commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in August, but my next officer training and flight school has been delayed until June 2021 due to COVID-19. Given the unexpected gap in my Marine Corp training, I work at Big Sky Resort a as a ski and snowboard instructor at the Madison Base. When I moved up to Big Sky a few months ago I was struck by the raw natural beauty of this place and I want a piece of Big Sky to call mine forever. I have placed several offers on properties in Big Sky but none have gone through yet. I hope  that my fortune changes soon.  I have a goal to replace my military income before I start to put me on the path to financial freedom early and I am confident I can achieve that goal. 

The reason for this post is I am encouraging others to share their current or previous struggles in real estate and how they either have or plan to overcome them.
