The reason you haven't closed on a deal this month, is because you are committed to closing a deal this month and not Committed to cold calling 10 MLS listings every day for the next month.The reason you can't get rid of that stubborn belly fat, is because you are committed to loosing belly fat and not committed to running 3 miles a day.Essentially, my epiphany is nothing short of this.Focus on the process and the results will come.

Without trying to sound too cold, if someone is stupid enough to hand money over to a complete stranger without touring the house and without having some way of that money being tracked, it's really not my problem.

If your house isn't well constructed, sometimes, on very cold days, the waste heat from an inefficient furnace is needed to heat the basement.

It's a good market to already be established in but I assume highly competitive and difficult for cold starts.

I never worry about my sales skills after have spent over 20 years in call centers, some of which I owned and making 50 + cold calls per day b2b.

My girlfriend is from Milwaukee and everyone we know from there is trying to escape the cold.

This is NOT all about the number of transactions, but more about having the perspective of holding real estate over long durations, living as an investor through both a hot market and a cold market, witnessing first hand how their different investments behave, and thus learning how they can generate returns and hedge their risks in each part of the cycle.

Personally, I prefer tropical paradises over the cold though.

Im not sure they would appreciate a cold call. should I drop a flyer off in their mailbox?

@Jeff Valentino I thought cold calling was the thing and find it nice to hear that that is not the only way to conduct business.
