I was Industrial Electrician, worked in factory, Corrugator plant, worked  every weekend, all my overtime I saved, bought 1200 sq ft house, old, 4 kids, made it into 4 br 2 bathActually put a bathroom in big closet,Bought my first house, came home from work at 3:40 then worked on property,It’s very difficultBut , create a vision for yourself, ride the enthusiasm and wave, go with the momentumIf your in a company, use their 401k money, then borrow against it until you leaveOnly buy houses below retail, don’t be afraid of rejectionMake ridiculous offersMy first hit was 25 k.

But this chart explains it all pretty well.I like to think the enthusiasm-delusional phase is when the cashier at walmart is giving me advice on bitcoin/real estate investing/stocks etc...

Hi guys, my name is Stephanie and i'm from Las vegas, NV. my interest in real estate pretty much started from seeing a video i stumbled upon of Nick Ruiz and i was just so intrigued by his enthusiasm to get you into wholesaling, & ofcourse the money you can make too.

Hi @Rogers Smith , voting is a way to show your agreement (or appreciation, enthusiasm, etc) for another member's comments. 

Portland seems to be pretty hot so if the property is priced well it should move and if it is sitting, there is a reason.I am not trying to squash your enthusiasm, but being conservative with your numbers could help you avoid a deal that will not work out well.  

I love the enthusiasm.

@Rick Pozos I love the enthusiasm, but I'm going to have to stay moderate for now. 

Bryant Schur congrats to you, I like your enthusiasm, you Rock!!!

For example, your eagerness to learn the business and the enthusiasm and dedication you are willing to apply to it, it is always something seasoned investor are looking for to find in people who might work for them.I will suggest you to introduce yourself humbled as some one who wants to learn the business from bottom up.

I love the enthusiasm.
