Most even as I write this still have a "sell their success" mentality in my opinion.

Also I like the Garyvee mentality on whether you should do something.

Please don't tell me I have a lack mentality.

Parking should be evident when people view the property and let them know it is shared driveway but not everyone makes the mental leap that you can't park in the shared driveway so you need to tell them.   

I paid my way through school with scholarships, and I want to take that mentality with me into real estate.

Then know that all of it relies on your hard work to implement, you should know all of your scripts and responses because you've rehearsed them endlessly.

Also, because jobs here are much less demanding - mentally and time wise - we now have the ability to spend more time learning and focusing on RE investments.   

You only have to look at the borrow more buy more mentality on sites like this that its only a matter of time before these investors burn it down again and you will be buying at a bargin. 

Andrew Jordan Jesse Waters That was my thinking at first but I guess greed briefly got to me and I mentally began spending my fee before I even got to the initial meeting with my buyer.I already told him I was firm on the price so I'll just have to swallow my pride to protect our future business relationship and let him know in the morning that he clearly has a lot more experience in this field than I do and that we'll do the deal at his price.Frankly if I were in his position and he mine, I'd probably be ticked off if his fee was as much or more than my profit after working on it for two months.Time to set my karma straight.

And that's the mental exercise you can go through to see just where your tolerance level is for paying tax vs the deferral route of a 1031.
