They took a risk and chased their ambitions.

The market doesn't care about your ambition, this is the same burden everyone who buys real estate at this point in the economic cycle must bear.How many wholesalers are you networking with regularly? 

If existing on less than a thousand dollars a month is someone's life ambition, they have bigger problems than the little bit of money they're scamming from the system and I am thankful not to be them. 

Hey @Sannibel CarterCongrats to you for your ambition!

I am also helping my mother-in-law find and invest in a duplex/triplex as she's sitting on capital that should be put to work for her.With that being said, I've also had the ambition to start my own business for quite some time, and I've finally found the idea of starting a local Property Management company. 

There are many folks out there who just want to poison other peoples' ambitions by slamming folks who know the business inside out but charge a significant fee for doing so.

I'm getting discouraged with partnerships, where people do not match my level of ambition for real estate investing.

You are not alone in your real estate ambition.

The city still has lead water pipes in parts of the city water system that they have no money or ambition to fix.
