Investors Who Do vs. Investors Who Don't
I'm trying to figure out the difference between investors who do, and investors who just talk about investing.....
What finally motivated you to start investing in real estate? What I'm actually really interested in is what made you finally act on your interest in real estate, as opposed to merely thinking about it.

It's RISK. Some people can handle it and some can't. As I get older it's more difficult. just like jumping a ditch with a bicycle. When we're young, we don't give it much thought but as we age we remember that it hurt when we fell and we don't heal as quickly as we used to.
