Stressed Out! Advice Welcomed

[Tony Magallanez]

I started my real estate investing career about one year ago. I am stressed out because I can't find any leads. I sometimes feel like a failure and thought about giving up. Also thought about playing the stock market (Gross!). I look at real estate as a hobby and past-time.

I also hit a brick on the road since I receive tax free income for my military service, which can't be counted towards a new mortgage! Any advice is welcome!! Please share your ideas and experiences.
