Someone that has some construction background and has more of a thrill seeker mentality might be really bored with stabilized B class multifamily deal acquisition process with a 10 year hold strategy.Someone that really cant handle the sleepless nights of 50% vacancy or better yet 100% vacancy really shouldn't be looking for to the stud rehabs of a 20 unit with a hard money loan that needs to be refinanced out in less than 18 months.Are you a data guy?  

Taking the time to expand your knowledge and get involved with different aspects of the real estate industry will pay off in the long run, just don't go into it with a short term mentality and you should be fine.

Apply that mentality to everything you do.  

As you can see by my thread subject, I am brand new to this. I live in a relatively small town about an hour north of Washington DC. I live a somewhat boring life and have held the same job for the last 17 years. I am...

Change them immediately for your own mental health!

@Quang Tran mad props for being where you're at mentally already.Currently I own 1250 units and it all started with the first duplex I bought (lived in one side and rented out the other) at age 23.  

Ex: John was really well-spoken, Susie constantly interrupted me, Steve clearly had no idea WTF he’s talking about, etc.By calling 10 accountants, you’re “pairing them up” against each other, cross-referencing their information and getting smarter (and more confident) with each call.At the end of all your calls, you’ll be mentally tired, yes, but you just learned a ton! 

I have been footing the bills up there a lot and the other siblings are only interested in what is good for them and their bank accounts. keep wanting to put her in a old folks home,but she is not at that stage yet.physically sound ,just the mental part that has failed ,and they want to move her hours away and take over her finances.
