I think a passion for the business, combined with hard work and surrounding yourself with the right team and mentors are the key ingredients.With respect to real estate crowdfunding, you should search the discussions and forums - there is a wealth of information from folks much better informed than I.        

Unless you're just doing it for the passion.

While I am an active real estate licensee, my passion/desire is in investing.

He has always had a passion for real estate.

People get very passionate when they have strong opinions, and I think REI attracts some real strong characters, so it's par for the course.By the way, if anyone is interested the seller wants time to think about my offer and wants to look at other offers as well.

Hello all, I stumbled across BP and haven't been able to stop reading everyone's and opinions regarding a new, but passionate investing subject I'd like to get started in - Real Estate.

I would in return send them leads I found that might be good investor deals. 18 months later, 20-30 transactions down the road at, I now have more cash coming in than expenses, created great relationships with lenders and contractors, and am now in a position to start buying.It wasn't fast, it wasn't sexy, it wasn't full of clauses and contingencies, but I was neck deep in real estate the whole time, helping people with problems, and that was my passion - as I am sure it is yours.So, my opinion, which may be the slower route, is get into Real Estate somehow, work for someone, and investor, management something.

I am very entrepreneurial and my passion is to launch a consumer product business in the short term, while investing in real estate in the long term by doing buy and holds.

Good luck in finding your passion, because that's what it's all about.

I then turned my passion into a business and help other people with their finances as a Financial Coach.I am looking to learn from others in this forum as well as help out any way I can through my own experiences.Thanks!
