That is a miserable, exhausting, time consuming process, even if you are 100% right.

It can be exhausting (and demoralizing hearing "no" again and again), but I've found leads I simply couldn't have any other way.For instance, I met a man who owns 5 single family houses on the other side of the city from the neighborhood he lives in.

I plan to get into buying them after I feel I've exhausted all that I can learn with searching around along myself.

So that's $48,000/year - expenses & taxes (at this point depreciation would likely be exhausted).

This past year has been a whirlwind of uncertainty, fear, and exhaustion but also of elation and relief.If it gives you any hope in your own journey, I literally knew nothing about real estate, and I had no connections when I jumped in.

All in all, this was exhausting, and a very good lesson for us!

These are a few ideas you can use and it's certainly not an exhaustive list.

The few people I do have under me are all very much self starters, and they only bother me when they really need help and have exhausted all other options to find their answers. 

I recommend not reading any books until you've exhausted all the great FREE info here on BP.

I am exhausted from just reading this thread!
