Dedicate your next 6 mo to reading everytying written on creative financing. 

I'm sure you'll find that that means dedicating a relatively "short" time to ensure your time is never attached to hourly work if you don't want it to be.

You need to be dedicated to studying the market and understanding how much homes sell and rent for in various parts of the city.Above all else, when visiting, you should be networking and putting together your team.

IF you dedicate yourself as a realtor, that may give you the legs and experience to do some deals later on.

Great hustle and dedication.

If not call them and say something like this..After careful thought and a lot of consideration I have decided to dedicate my life to being a real estate investor and I knew I could count on you to spread the word.

THEN ALLOT OF TIME AND HARD HARD WORKLIKE ANY BUSINESS REAL ESTATE INVESTING REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE, INTELLIGENCE, IMAGINATION, DEDICATION, DEVOTION, FORTITUDE, PERSISTENCE, AND A LITTLE OR ALLOT OF LUCK  AS WELL AS ALLOT OF EFFORT AND YES SOONER OR LATER MONEY AND ENOUGH MONEY OTHERWISE YOU JUST ARE NOT GOING TO LAST. 

In fact you inspired me to hire a dedicated repair and maintenance manager.  

However it also requires personal dedication.

@Joel Peng and @Annette Clarabut , Mr Pang's response speaks volumes about Listsource "dedication to customer service".
