Remember the following when you deal with JVs with sellers It's worth what the comps are today not what they paId in the past Say "my job and purpose is to help you make money and for me to make money" , say that over and over again to the seller If they say no today, keep at it over and over and over again to that either say yes or do something different Be persistent with sellers at all times, never give up I had a mentor and coach when I was young and that's why I teach and mentor for a fee of course to new and experienced people Let me know if you want info on coachingBest wishesBrian

Wow, talk about persistence!

I recently acquired my first investment property in November of 2014 and am excited to continue on this journey.My personality is that of an extremely hard working, persistent, honest and positive person.

And make sure you budget the money and persistence to keep at it, or else you are throwing your money away.

Congrats on being patient and persistent!

Welcome to BiggerPockets Jacob Shafer.REI can be very lucrative, but it takes a lot of hard work and persistence.

Like how you filter your list(s), amount of equity, access by competitive door knockers, your effectiveness with owners, your persistence, personality, sales skills, etc.Door knocking is hard work, even when the weather is beautiful.

Always remember to persist and you will WIN!!

Jumping in and then being consistent and persistence is key.

Brandt,It seems like you've got great persistence.
