As an agent myself, I can assure you that making money in this field requires a lot of effort and delayed gratification.

Embracing delayed gratification is important and that discipline will help you achieve your bigger goals.

The only nice thing about doing the smallest first is that you get some gratification out of that debt disappearing off the books. 

I am ok with the delayed gratification to get my foot in the door.

In my area, that includes the following:Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Familial Status, National Origin, Disability, Military Status, Sexual Orientation, Age, Creed, Marital Status, Gender Identity, Source of Income, Immigration and Citizenship StatusBeing 19 y/o, the tenant is feels that this is unfair treatment based on age.

Of course, the past is no guarantee of the future but, as this example illustrates, fortunes can be made by simply postponing gratification for a little while.          

Add to that the current generation has no time for delayed gratification?   

PLEASE DON’T WAIT.LD 1255, introduced by Portland Representative Grayson Lookner, mandates that once the Governor’s Pandemic Emergency Declaration expires, most for-cause evictions are banned for ninety days.It specifically and by name or number bans evictions for:Rental defaultExpiration of leaseTenant causing substantial damage to property – 14 MRS § 6002(1)(A)Tenant causing a nuisance-at-law or causing the property to become unfit for habitation – 14 MRS § 6002(1)(B)Tenant is a perpetrator of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking against another tenant – 14 MRS § 6002(1)(D)Tenant or guest threatens or commits violence, threatens violence or sexual assault against a tenant, guest, landlord or landlord’s agent – 14 MRS § 6002(1)(E)Person is an unauthorized squatter – 14 MRS § 6002(1)(F)We suggest you tell your legislators:“Right now, during the emergency, my tenants are protected, under law, from bad tenants.

Start early , delay some early gratification and stay aware of how unconscious fears will hold you back if you let themgo get em kid:)

Your why should give you that drive to put in the extra work now, work through delayed gratification, and reap the grand rewards your efforts may bring about later on.
