I am participating and will strive to bring in at least one more than you again Bryan!

I promise to always keep rent increases as low as possible, striving to keep up only with the rate of inflation and market value.

I am a commercial real estate broker as well as an investor.I would say what has made me successful is the WILL to never QUIT.When I get on a workout machine I go for an hour doing cardio.Most will do 15 minutes,some 30,a few 45,hardly any will go 60.When I run a marathon my mind wants to quit before the body but I push on.The last part of finishing takes the most mental toughness and a will not to quit.You will need this skill in real estate.Making a deal happen will be like being on a roller coaster with many highs and lows.It has taken me a year to close a deal before.When I was assembling land deals I had to talk to the owners sometimes 50 times and it took 6 months to agree to terms and get under contract for the developer I was working with.It will take a lot of time and blood,sweat and tears in the beginning but it will build toughness and character.Remember if it was easy anyone would do it.Their is competition in EVERYTHING you do.You have to find something you enjoy and then strive everyday to be the best at it.Work it like a business and constantly gain more knowledge and develop systems to maximize your time.When I close a hard deal that takes a long time I get a great satisfaction that I made a deal work that many would have just quit on.

I think by doing this, you may turn some members away, just my opinion.This is from About BP page "We take pride in offering all of our basic services & resources FREE to our users, and strive to bring our users new and exciting services that are often a pay service elsewhere."

I think what makes the difference, and what I'm striving for from the outset, is to treat flipping like a business.

I wish you the best, keep striving!

I would strive to pay the note off in 3 yrs which would require payment of 450/month.

I would throw deals on the "investor walls" hoping that "something" would stick....big mistake, but a valuable learning experience.As a wholesaler striving to build my buyers list, I've stopped chasing "everything" and started focusing on what investors really want.

Its a special connection between two over-achievers who strive for nothing less than perfection and dominance.

I strongly recommend that you travel to the middle east and walk in those refugee camps and see the condition in which all that brain washing strive on.
