Need some encouragement BP family. Please Help!
Guys I keep learning and learning and digesting information so I can get going on my first flip. At this current moment I'm looking for deals and getting my funding sources in order. I feel and want to pull the trigger when the time comes and I'm really excited.
One thing that is kind of like a cough is family telling you what you should do. I'm I the only one with this problem? I consider myself a pretty independent person and make decision's on my own, but my family wants to be all into what is going on. I have a Aunt and Uncle that flip and rent houses but the way they do it I disagree with. I understand everyone has there way of doing things. I want to put out clean and quality work that represents me as a brand. I just don't want to buy a flip, throw down some carpet, paint the walls and glue some things together. I want to do things right.
Also, I'm having a little trouble getting my significant other being just as excited as me about this journey. I would like to have full support on the home front. Just needs some encouragement BP!
Best Regards,
Charles Coaston

Family can be the hardest to deal with!
Aunt, uncle: I love you guys and I respect that you have more experience than me. I want to figure this out on my own and I'll ask for help if I need it.
Significant other: that can be the toughest one of all. Tell her why you want to do real estate. Share with her your dream, your WHY (so you two can take more vacations? so she never has to work if she doesn't want to?) Enroll her in your dream. The RE is just the means to get there.
She doesn't have to be involved if she has zero interest. It helps if she's supportive.
