We are very interested in meeting others but our biggest struggle has been to find time to devote to investing.

Turns out he's a devoted, hard working father that lost his wife last year.

I'd have a lot more time in my day if I didn't devote so much time to exercise, but I am determined to not need or have any more surgeries, hopefully ever.It intrigues me how you were raised with investing parents and followed in their footsteps.  

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

For now, I won't be able to devote full time hours to managing my rentals, so I'm thinking I may need to slow progress down and use a management company.I'm curious if anyone has any tips for someone just starting out in the business who also has to work full time?

So if I am going to devote a few days of my life to originate, process and close this loan, it has to be worth my time.Best wishes on your RE adventures.

I started making YouTube videos and am devoted to build a brand for myself.
