Initially I thought I had made it and was going to be moving up in the ranks and receive a great salary because I did what I was told: Go to college, get good grades, and get a job.

Seems to be the best of both worlds in terms of personal connection and professionalism.

To give you an example, a seller received an offer next day the house was listed, and accepted it, in 3 days after the seller received a better offer, his attorney gives undoable conditions to the already signed contract, like bringing a closing day earlier.

You may be better served doing multiple small deals and get better cap rates than competing against the real professionals with deep pockets with cash parked and ready to go.
