Surround yourself with people that have great goals and ambition in life - especially if real estate is the route you decide to go down, and it will work wonders for you.1.

Hey all, originally I had the rosy ambition of going in on an owner-occupied duplex in the Austin area, but quickly came to the realization all the duplex/multiplexes on the MLS here are either overpriced or need a substantial down payment to make financial sense.I have now shifted my strategy to buying a more modestly priced SFR outside of Austin city limits with 20% down.

One of my biggest ambitions is to transition from being solely an agent to flipping houses.

I like your ambition.  

We do what we do because it's stable and reliable work but we have more ambition. 

I have no money to start, no credit but tons of drive and ambition.  

Your enthusiasm and ambition are commendable, I wish you well in your endeavors. 

The story will develop as a rags to riches one, much like Andrew Carnegie in the late 19th century, as I am starting with nothing but ambition. 

Keep networking and you'll find several people here that would love to help you out, you may even find a business partner.Good luck to you in your Real Estate Ambitions!

I'm now in my mid-40s and I have more energy, more clarity of thought and have more ambitions and more success than I ever have in my life.Folks - I can't stress this enough.
