Success is based on persistence, luck and timing.

Aggressiveness (in finding deals, buyers, and financing)Persistence (in following up with sellers, buyers, contractors, bankers, etc; working through the low/hard times)People skills (making sellers, buyers, bankers, etc. feel safe and secure with you; networking with new people to sell to, to finance with, or use their services)

Be persistent, the MF property I am in contract on now is my third attempt.

Persistence pays off in this profession and secondary markets are where it's at for beginner investors at the moment. 

Be persistent, follow through, show initiative.

Some give up, others use failure as a motivation to continue to persist until they figure out how to make it work. 

Stay consistent and persistent.
