I work with professionals in all fiscal disciplines to help with information and due diligence.

My short term goals are to educate myself as much as possible on the various disciplines within RE investing.

There is great opportunity here if you are disciplined.   

It takes untold amounts of discipline and emotional control and nerves of steal and the ability to sit through painfull losing streaks and being okay with drawdowns, and on and on. 90% or more lose eventually.  

However, the license law does provide that a licensee can be disciplined for offering property for sale without the knowledge and consent of the owner or the owner’s authorized agent, or on terms other than those authorized by the owner or the owner’s authorized agent.

A great read is the "4 disciplines of execution"....put together a plan where you have an achievable objectives of commercial RE development.

And they sort-of force a discipline upon you because you invest automatically and get used to not having the money.

Patience, discipline and a smidgeen of luck!

If you can't get a discount, have the discipline to pass on a deal. 

the hardest thing to do in a seller's market is to stick to your numbers and be a disciplined investor.
