@Seth McGathey I feel this in my bones! I turned all of my frustration from people doubting me into determination to get it done, whatever it took. I was only 25, single, and living in an expensive market and I'm not sure if I would've ever taken the plunge had I not been so pissed off people weren't encouraging me to do it.  A silver lining of their doubt!

Quote from @William Miller:

Lately, I’ve realized that not everyone deserves a front row seat to my goals.

Most of my friends and family are good people but they don’t share the same vision or mindset when it comes to building wealth, real estate investing, or taking risks for long-term freedom. And that’s okay. But what I’ve learned the hard way is that sharing my plans with the wrong people can kill momentum before I even start.

You’ll hear things like:

  • “That sounds risky.”
  • “Real estate is too expensive right now.”
  • “Why not just stick to your job and play it safe?”
  • “My cousin’s uncle tried that and lost everything.”

Most of them mean well. But the truth is, most people want to give advice they’ve never earned. They've never done a BRRRR, never managed a rental, never dealt with banks or built anything from scratch but they have an opinion ready to go.

So I’ve been learning to keep my head down, stay focused, and connect with people who are actually in the game. People who’ve done what I’m trying to do. People who can offer real feedback instead of fear.

If you’ve ever felt the same like you’re moving in a different direction than those around you just know you’re not alone. I’m here to network, stay accountable, and build something real with people who get it.

Let’s connect. I’m always down to trade knowledge, share deals, or just keep each other locked in.

Where did you get this "84%" number from?


I personally do not believe this ..  Or maybe folks think it but sales are not down 84% :)

I'm right there with you, that's why I asked where he got that number from.  Here in Plymouth (MI), if a house goes up for sale, it's gone like lightning.  We're still doing demo old small houses and building bigger newer period ones.  These are gone before they are finished.


Love infill like that we have one going in Charleston SC right now.. I did about 30 of them there but could not find any lots last 18 months until one popped up last fall.. Cant tear down houses in Charleston very easy.. I will have to check Plymouth out I am looking for a new infill market.
Let me know if you have any questions on it.

I do pop me a pm or e mail..  I need to make a trip to Toledo to check on all my deals I am funding there so I could kill two birds as it were and I would fly into Detroit anywayn

 Dinner?


YUP if your coming to vegas for BP con ???

Maybe I show up to BP con but if you make it to Toledo, let me know please

Long overdue a catch up mate 🙏


 We'd love to see you there! Email me for a little incentive since you're a long-time community member! [email protected]

Even if there are no DFW investors you know beforehand, you can network and meet plenty of folks via the Whova app before the conference!
