What do you believe that makes real estate investors successful

Hey, yall. I havent posted much clearly. (Gonna change that now). My name is Terry. Im from Buffalo, NY. Ive been researching real estate and money for about 8 months now. Huge BP podcast listener. 

.  My post today is regarding "hope" and "motivation." 

   My situation may be a little different than average. Had an "immature" up bringing. Ill use "product of my environment" as an excuse, sure. Now...im coming up on 30, as of August. Ive always had a different outlook than my peers. And full disclosure...my credit is f'd. However, within 100 points when i started this journey. 

I read DG'S BRRRR, and even he mentioned about people laughing that your saving and saving. Getting ready for that low market deal but no one believes ya. Saving on a BS salary ain't a quick ordeal.


Every attempt ive made has failed. Every person i try and look up to just stops responding. Im on all sorts of local networks, ive seen 4 properties that i thought were good but i fall short due to the seller. I know im getting scammed, type of thing. 


I guess im really asking, through the thick and thin of denial and being the laughing stock, how did you all keep going? I swear man if one more person STOPS RESPONDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION, i may lose it. Idk. Venting, but BP gives me the only glimmer of hope that "terry you will be successful". But in my home marketplace...small fish become prey or get disregarded. 

Idk, help?

Go Bills.

@Terry Majchrzak its a mindset buddy.  You got to keep pushing and grinding.  If it was easy everybody would be a RE tycoon.
