Rome wasn't built in a day.

I have heard this saying over and over from several of my "seasoned" friends or family members.  I know their intentions are not negative but I wonder if its holding me back. Often times it is trying to keep me from jumping on a huge chance in real estate. Two questions looking back or forward for some, would you rather build you empire slowly or take the bigger risk out of the gate and try to hit a big score? 

Second: What are the biggest hurdles that you have seen for the one you chose.

    @Chris Wood assuming I know the deal you are talking about, you need to execute if you have the ability. I will be happy to help you if you get it. Know your numbers, and dont overbid just because its an auction. Best of luck and I will be thinking and rooting for you. Theres nothing (except money) that should stop you from doing this. All the issues I brought up can be overcome. I hope I wasnt holding you back, here to support you all the way.
