Being surrounded by negativity and adverse risk takers

[Rod Desinord]

One of the things I have learned and to be honest with you I have run across this problem in all fascists of life is to stay away from negative people. I was recently asked what was I doing to make money and I explained my investing ideas and immediately was met with skepticism. Funny thing is one of the people who told me this was a bad idea was a person who himself has lost tens of thousands of dollars on non real estate get rich plans and I just sat there with amazement thinking to myself "Really!" But of course once things start running well those same people suddenly were your biggest supporters! But i have learned that majority of the pushback i have ever recieved has been due to that persons lack of education on Rehabbing and acquiring rental properties. What are some of your stories?
