Lucas this is a great attitude, and I hope I can remember it the first time I see that "4"!   

@Rick Turman, you clearly have a great attitude.

but my attitude was, NEVER again will I make same mistake ;pand I haven't since ;pEvery deal since, I draw experience from my first monster ;pI ventured to 3 more rentals (1 res/2 comm)and flipped 2 more, and renov-ed SMARTER!!!!!

Attitude is everything in this business.

“You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as a call to action.” ~ Catherine Parker

In fact, the town needs your attitude to come back to what it was, or potentially something way better than it was.  

That’s the attitude I had when I began, but as I went along I found that they weren’t even interested in the cash flow once they knew the purchase price.

It took so much longer than it should have for me to develop a businessman's attitude and to start to succeed in life and business. 

@Alan Brooks - While that's a great attitude to have, keep in mind most residential brokerages view investment real estate as sort of a tangent. 90% of agents are all out there cold calling the same expired listings and chasing the same first time home buyers.

It rented to the first applicantI have a vacancy right now that my phone calls are from people like 2 unmarried couples that want to share a house (no thanks), or a person that gets real disrespectful when I tell them I check credit (rejected for attitude if not bad credit).
