That's a dedicated schedule. 

I don't really like the awkward almost negative responses since in real estate there is no template it's completely up to you how far you go is based on how fast you move divided by your dedication multiplied by your ambition.  

To back up that belief, my wife and I dedicate a minimum of 10% of our income to giving each month, and we also make additional one-off donations as well to charities that positively impact our local community. 

Hello all!!I have done extensive research on REI and am sure that this is the career path I want to take. I have been watching every YouTube video I can, reading as many books as I can, and talking to every investor I...

@Aaron Taylor Deal flow is king in this market and you either dedicate the time and money into marketing to put hundreds of potential opportunities into the funnel or you invest with someone who has it. 

Since I found the BP website about 4 years ago I have dedicated myself and I have all the time I need and spend all I can on the internet and I read a book about every two or three weeks. 

I am able to dedicate 10-15 hours per week. 

I can dedicate maybe 5-10 hours to this endeavor weekly. 

We have been reading post after post for the past two years from (1) members who are fed up with the market (2) members who are having a hard time starting in a hot market and (3) members who have highly appreciated properties but don't have an alternative investment option if they were to sell or exchange.Deal flow is king in this market and you have to (1) put hundreds of deals through the funnel via marketing and networking or (2) you have to invest with someone who has it.I made a decision two years ago to do more of the latter...to start heavily vetting passive opportunities with experienced sponsors who have mature deal flow pipelines (i.e. deep broker relationships, industry leaders, full time staff dedicated to deal flow, consistent off-market properties)...while still casually vetting direct owned opportunities. 

Not the case for someone smart, willing to hustle, and especially if they are a dedicated re agent!
