You started with a classic mistake (one I see even "veteran" investors do) but recovered nicely.

I look forward to receiving as much advice as possible from you veterans out there.

Yes, a big thank you to all fellow veterans!

Being a veteran wholesaler, I get 1k non refundable earnest money and they must do all inspections prior to giving me the deposit.

The income is Social Security, VA benefit (military spouse of a veteran who passed away) and a civil service check.

It's falling apart and needs to be repaired/upgraded and since we have a pool of construction workers and veterans that need work it seems there's a way to make this work and bring in private contractors as needed.

I am so excited to have found this forum because it was the JR forum and the veterans on that forum that got me through my first judgment.

I'm a photographer by trade - I've shot for ad agencies around the country, traveled from Japan to Jamaica for weddings and have billionaires among my portrait clients.

For you veteran commercial agents/brokers/investors, would you please share your experiences of how you managed to succeed early on in your career?

Maybe the veteran posters can confirm ...MJ
