Needing to hear a success story...

[Minna Reid]

If you have one...if it's a lost my shirt story, skip it, cause it's not quite what I want to hear right now. I'm a newbie investor - selling my first rental (one horror story) and my first rehab ( another horror story, though it came out ok but drained me fiscally nonetheless, and I am facing financial ruin if these two don't sell quickly). Pressure, pressure!!!
Anyone turn a harsh start into a great REI career and care to share?
