You have to be committed to being better than everyone else in your industry every step of the way.

Larger Industrial property is a fairly hot area right now due to the e-commerce boom so you might find a bank that's interested. 

Hi @Danielle Matalonis...welcome to BP & the investing game! 

I was in real estate sales and Property Management for 16 years, but left the industry at the time of the real estate bubble to go back to college. 

But it's hard work to make a lot of money because you need so many properties.But I've been at this game a good long time now and have taken enormous risks and executed a huge variety of aggressive strategies.

Remember that real estate is a numbers game so if you are rejected by one lender just move on to the next!

I get a lot of newbies asking me what are the key ingredients in being successful in the real estate industry.

But for now, I am willing to do whatever it takes to thrive and kill, not literally, in this industry.

I am a UT graduate working in the tech industry now with the hopes to break into the real estate investing industry.

Wife and I heard of a potential family-deal, where current Detroit Lakes owner wants to quit the snowbird game and go full-time-Florida.
