I think a person’s mental willpower, tenacity, and determination is something that’s not discussed enough, but is the unsung hero in most professions.

Naturally, in higher income professions, where one is you making over $100/hour in your day job, you start to wonder if the struggle to make an extra $100-300/month per door as a landlord is really worth the headache and time invested.

It is not a few bad apples, it is a profession that attracts bad apples.

Quote from @Alon Attias: Hi guysMy profession is a contractor and project manager but i live in California.Im new to the BRRRR and i would like to start investing my first property in Cleveland, Ohio. 

@Mike SchorahI am not a realtor but there are a lotOf professions that require a license.

Disclaimer: I don't profess to be an expert on Cleveland or Ohio real estate markets but I do have several years of experience funding commercial multifamily loans throughout the region. 

Which means me with my PhD at the end of my career made 25% less than a journeyman in your profession. 

@Craig Parsons sorry decided not to read it all.Realtors suck, just like the average ____ (insert any profession) sucks.It sounds more like you are nervous than any realtors issue.

My daughter is a scientist, my dad was a fireman - they are very different professions and very different people. 

Luckily I'm in a highly paid profession so I didn't need to tap equity and didn't at first, I'm basically using cash out refinances to fund new deals rather than taking savings on hand to the market.
