About the same time we all assumed Covid would sink real estate. https://www.nj.com/news/2021/0...The economy is shaky and the real estate market almost by definition has to cool and will probably correct a bit, but I sincerely doubt we're about to witness 2008 all over again.

Sincerely Alex

@Salvatore Lentini thanks for your time & feedback. sincerely appreciated

No matter how many times you try to show a sincere interest, no matter how many names you remember, no matter how often you work to be sympathetic, it'll still be obvious to your guys that you don't have the skill set to work daily on a decent general residential renovation crew.

I live in Westchester County which was poor and richYou need to look at your expenses and write them out on a yellow pad what you're spending every monthJust put them in columns such as name, amount, interest-rate, etcLook seriously at the job and what your future is for advancementGo down to a good training company like Keller Williams KW  in New York and talk to the broker and show that you're very sincere about learning real estate and you want to study the new agents books and They might even give them to you for freeTry to tell everybody that you want to be really good at real estate and that you don't be working your rear end offTry to limit your TV intakeThink about tending bar or some other one or two nights a week extra job and put it in a jarI don't know what you're netting for income every month but 450 a month for a vehicle...wowCut expenses, make more moneyGood luck

I am not looking at a quick payday or trying to pursue some pitch I heard on an infomercial, I am sincerely interested in developing a long term profitable business, and a way of life that I can pass on to my sons.

Sincerely!

Yes, we had to make sacrifices and downgrade our lifestyles to get to where we are but it was certainly worth it.Changing our lifestyles has helped us build back our rainy day fund and we are trying to get to a position where we may be able to buy a rental property towards the end of the year.I would like to sincerely thank BP community for all the content and all the guests on the podcasts who continue to inspire me on a daily basis to move forward in my investing journey.

Now I use 2.5% since rent grow has flattened a bit (8%) and there is a lot of new inventory coming on the market.

Sincerely, Enrique and Melissa Serrano
