No one wants ot hear about RE anymore

[Jenelle H.]

Are we real estate investors all alone? Lately I've been talking about real estate a lot to my friends and family, and today I was told by someone that they didn't want to hear about it anymore. Have you ever experienced this with people outside of REI? Are we the only ones interested in talking about RE? Should I stop bothering to talk about it with other people and just stick to talking about it to people who are already interested in RE?

The problem with BPers (and I'm guilty of this) is that we often approach Real Estate like religion.  We are devout converts who live, eat, sleep and breathe what we believe.  And just like any other fanatic, we can be really annoying about it.

Back off from your friends/acquaintances who have said they're uncomfortable with your level of engagement and spend your time and energy with those who are anywhere from slightly to completely enthusiastic.
