mentality of a real estate investor

[Sam Lee]

Hi all, I am on my way to save $100,000 in 5 years and wanted to know about what the mentality of a successful real estate investor should be. My dream would be to form a partnership each contributing $100,000 for a million+ real estate investment deal. My one concern is that the stress of managing the tenants or worrying about burning out and losing intereste/desire.

How should you, the successful real estate investor think? I have done my first real estate deal and was a little burned out by all the stress (by managing the house and such), and things went a little sour. I didn't lose any money, only the opportunity cost of using that money for great returns.

Do you guys have any advice? thanks :D
