real estate really tests how bad you really want it

I've been calling owners for 4 months. I have gotten nothing but No's.

Sometimes I just want to relax and take a break, but this is when the game. really tests you as an entrepreneur .

Additionally , my mentor said 1000 calls=. 1 offer. Since my goal is to get 10 offers accepted that means I need to make 10k calls in 3 months.

I'll probably hire a separate VA. I'll pay them $20 a week and $500-1000 when we close as a commission.

These numbers look intimidating to me right now, but I remind myself that this is all a test of how much I want my first apartment deal.

There are no rules of thumb and there are much better than ways to find deals other than cold calling. Investing is a business. It’s all about systems, consistent focused action and follow up and follow through. Doing the same thing with zero results makes little sense in business. Sometimes you need to pivot.
