It just goes to show if you are persistent an never give up you can grow and create and amazing business.

I've always admired your posts and persistence.

(Man my tab must be high at this point...)The single most influential piece to my persistence in REI over the last year has been the BiggerPockets Podcasts.

It definitely takes hard work and persistence, but it can be done.

Thank you.DalWelcome Dalton,Its great having you on Bigger Pockets.Keep reading daily and I am sure you will grow your investor knowledge over the next 6 - 12 months.Hard Work, Sacrifice and Persistence are some of the key attributes needed to succeed in RE.Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Should I remain persistent until I convince him, OR should I walk away and take his reluctance as a sign that this could be detrimental to our relationship?

A lot of us are tying this to the persistence of public sector employment and government-tied jobs (feel free to make your own zinger about how government jobs have a stubborn tendency to stick around even when the rest of the job market is getting hit).

PERSIST AND YOU WILL WIN!!

I agree with all the other post to this feed you must be persistent in everything you are doing.

Finally a reward for your patience and persistence.
