@Adam DetigAdam I think you will get the same excuses.

Help the tenants save on utilities and take away the excuse for not paying you rent.Landlord Quiz: It is 11:00 AM and there is a moving truck in front of a house.

Thanks, but no thanks.After a brief chat, I excused myself and he went on his way.... right into the other house I am in contract on recently only 2 doors away! 

I miss San Diego, but still have a property there to have an excuse for a tax deductible trip.

Just what I need, an excuse to spend more time on BiggerPockets!

So there is always an excuse to not invest and some then look back a few years later and realize that they should have bought then and now is not the right time because we may be near a market high (for them back a few years ago was not the right time either; the right time for them is always some time other than now).My family and I have only sold a single property for reasons other than 1031 exchange and even that property I would not classify as a mistake (and it got hit by 2 hurricanes: it obviously is not So Cal, a duplex in Gulf Shores Alabama that was beautiful). 

Those who say it can't be done are just making excuses (sorry if that offends anyone).I've been investing exclusively in the markets that someone on here said were "too saturated" for nearly 14 years, and have consistently flipped 12-15 houses per year. 

And please lets not make excuses for why these mentors and gurus charge what they do.  

Being careful often becomes an excuse for doing less.

@Michael Ryland I think what’s even more annoying are the people that told you years ago they are also going to invest in real estate and still haven’t done ANYTHING 5+ years on and are still asking for advice and making up excuses why they couldn’t....
