It reminds me of the oft quoted line from Warren Buffet, "Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful."

I did, but I fear that they posted here simply to get their BP post numbers up.

The time of international tax minimisation may be coming to a close I fear.

I have liquidity from the previous business to invest and hopefully kick start this endeavor.Biggest challenge - I don't know this industry, I am coming from a completely opposite industry in the technology field.What I have, I think, in my favor, are colleagues from the RE industry with experience in both traditional RE sales (agent/buy/sell) but also experience in the REI side (one owning about 70+ properties and the other owning about 25 properties, both using their properties for passive cashflow)With an engineering/analytical background, my greatest fear right now is the unknown and I am trying to shore up that experience through reading and listening to others, but as I have already discovered, its like taking a drink from the fire hose - way more knowledge than I can consume in a short period of time.Questions I would pose to anyone interesting in providing some feedback -- Best way to look for that first opportunity?  

Next, I doubt many here really do understand ethics in real estate, they may well be God fearing folks, go the "Golden Rule" route and deal very politely, none of that is an "industry ethic" (close, but not exactly).

you probably the few who took action to conquer their own fear.  

Greetings Self-Storage Enthusiasts,So I've been silently stalking BP for self-storage guidance for a few months and it's time to break the silence.

A feeling of confidence and power came over the young eagle and it knew instantly that it was not meant to just survive like all the other animals.It was destined to fly and soar above the storms and seek its own world where most fear to go. 

got out of my comfort zone, overcame my fear and happy about it... applied what I teach!!!

Get out there and knock on some doors, make some phone calls, meet with people and solve some problems; don't let fear keep you from your seven figure goal!
