I'm new to the real estate game, and have been learning so much within the last several weeks about my chosen choice to be a wholesaler.

I've taken to sending out letters to owners of multifamilies (because that is my focus) in chosen neighborhoods.

Because of positive signs in the market (like the slowing of foreclosures), the metro area was chosen one of the top 10 investment markets in 2010...according to the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors.

While I would never have chosen any of our paths, they have worked out better than I ever though!

For example, don't pass up a single family deal if you have chosen the multifamily route.

I have not chosen a city yet from out of state to invest since I'm not quite sure on how to find places that will give a good ROI. 

I tried my best to clearly convey the story and get a point across without stepping on too many toes.I do, however, disagree that grouping people based on their chosen career (a conscious choice) is the same as grouping people by something they have no control over, such as race, or debatably, religion.

I want to learn as to what it takes to be successful in the chosen field.

At the same time, I know that real estate is generally a "get wealthy slowly" kind of business (significant wealth and retirement doesn't happen overnight).So this got me thinking - how long do you think a investor should stick with their chosen niche before they see results?

Dale, why have you chosen RE as your choice of investment?
