After 4+ years  of riding up & dwn free funnel opt ins,   only to end up on phone with clueLESS, gate keepers that know less about what they are selling than I did when I started...     

That’s my plan, to ride out my current job til closure (1-2 years) while buying properties and growing my portfolio.

All this makes me think I should just ride it out longer.

It's been a wild ride!

I believe you can still do well here, especially cash flow compared to LTR's, but there is a lot more work to it so you have to up for the ride.  

Works nearly every time.We had a group of older ladies come and ride the bike trail.

I found that my first one was the hardest and then things slowly got easier and easier (kind of like riding a bike).  

I would ride on my golf cart to the houses being built on the weekends just for fun. 

There is no FHA 3.5% down on an apartment building or a shopping enter, there's lots of gov't incentives for "everyone to own a home" and since 1-4 units residential are all considered "single family" homes that means young investors get to ride that gravy chain for up to 4 units, but nothing like that exists for CRE (the gov't backed CRE mortgage options require MORE experience than traditional/vanilla commercial mortgages).Let me know if I can help.

It's cyclical, yes for sure and it's important to ride out the cycles.
