I do, however, have a small part of me that wished that they had a front row seat to see us grind, fail, struggle, and ultimately win.

I saw a need on both the seller's end and the list agents end and went right to my RE agent contacts and let them know they can offer upgrades and repairs to would be sellers to help them win more listing agreements and then we move in and do what is necessary to obtain top sell prices for the seller/list agent.

All the big wins on social media and the podcasts certainly set an unrealistic expectation.  

Instant cash flow investing as we have seen it in the 2010 years has been a historic anomalie.

It might be difficult to win because at least some of the charges sound valid.The juice stain is valid, especially if it is really obvious. 

If you put $250k into stocks and when the stocks appreciate 50%, your equity increases by 50% minus taxes.1031 exchange: You can sell one income property, buy a replacement income property, and defer capital gains taxes.In many cases, depreciation alone will reduce or eliminate taxes on your rental income.Real Estate DisadvantagesLiquidity: There is no way to convert real estate to cash instantly like you can with stocks.Higher entry price point: You can buy stocks for a$5 or less.

I love all your posts @Henry Lazerow...always great information and wins!

I have experience in this field as my 9-5 is w/ non-profit that works w/ in the social services field.

Celebrate holidays, bdays, and milestones together.To encourage collaboration, support, etc, start every team call/meeting with having each team member mention a 'win' that they had recently as well as a challenge they're facing... with the right mix of people, you should see your agents jumping at the chance to share advice/info and cheer one another on.

Again there is more than one way to play the RE game and win.
