First Deal Flopped...Now What?
Have invested time in Bigger Pockets for a year: reading, podcasts, analyzing, drive-arounds, learning, learning, learning. Thought my first deal was done, only to have it fall apart in the eleventh hour.
So many of you pros talk about hard times...but man, it is tough! And difficult to face up to my rookie mistakes that broke this deal.
I'm not asking for sympathy...but do want advice that will get my face out of this bag of chocolate and put my boots back on the ground so I can find my lost grit.

You can only learn so much reading and now you are learning while taking action. That's real progress.
You learned a whole bunch making rookie mistakes and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. Sometime those rookie mistakes are measured in 10's of 1000's of dollars.
Accept rejection and keep making offers that will work for you.
