Ambition is never a bad thing in real estate but like you aluded to, get educated and be patient. 

Ambition and drive will carry you far in life no college degree necessary!

If it is coming from a " good place " than I am going to step out on a limb and guess they are ppl who have always been an employee who has very little ambitions of being a business owner type trading hours for dollars.

Thanks for sharing @Anton IvanovI have great respect for people with passion, goals and "right" mindset.Your post demonstrate perfectly what can one achieve even with many unknown variables (remote markets, using teams over self-work).I have much to learn and your post gave some great ideas and especially ambition to pursue my REI goals.Have a great day,Benny

I have a great contractor and a lot of ambition.

Hello @Devan HillIt's good that you're ambitious and congratulations on taking the right path towards fulfilling your ambitions.

Hoping to meet hungry and driven professionals that align with my ambitions.- Goal #3 Evolve and Scale: Evolve and diversify my real estate investments strategies to help my portfolio grow and scale. - Goal #4 Become an Real Estate Investment SME: This obviously won't happen over night and will most likely take a decade or two to achieve.

Fortunately I was able to find skilled and trustworthy contractors, and share equity stake with them to give them skin in the game and ambition to be successful.To get the seller to closing, I built a short but meaningful relationship with the seller.

We will run a high touch campaign (18 touches) over 12 months with the ambition of being the seller's first call when they do decide to sell.Since we are long term buy/hold of larger multifamily properties, we can afford to be targeted, patient and play the timing game with sellers who are on average older and have held for a long time already.We are not creating a marketing machine to churn out wholesale flip deals; we aren't on that treadmill.
