Why do you invest in Real Estate?

[Reed Starkey]

Today, I sat outside watching the sunset with my wife, and I realized how wonderful life can be.  I recently quit my job to focus on family, and Real Estate is the vehicle I chose to allow me to do that.

I give you this sappy story to make a point.  Investing in Real Estate requires much commitment and dedication.  If you want to be successful in this game, you  need to have a reason to make it work.

I use my son as my inspiration every single day.  I have to make this work if I want to be there for every moment as he grows up.  I would have missed that in my 9-5. (actually more like 6-6).  I never want to go back to that level of stress.

My challenge to you is:

Find your reason for what you do.  If it is greed, it will be an uphill battle.  Figure what it is you want in life.  Put it in writing.  Share it here so the world can see.  Use that to keep you going when you want to quit.

Thank you for sharing, and good luck.
