I am desperately trying to succeed and provide for my family.Thank you

I am excited to expand my commercial side as well as continue to learn and succeed here in Southern California.  

I am here to seek out solid relationships with others that are positive and anxious to succeed.

I look forward to 'virtually' meeting many of you and gleaning tips and tricks to succeeding in this exciting and and challenging industry!

lol but you are right, real estate like any other sale job is plagued with NO's disappointments...and it takes a lot of character to succeed.

Be specific.You should be able to do all this in a couple of weeks if you are serious about succeeding.

I look forward to connecting with others that share my same interests and desires and hope to learn enough in the near future so that I can pay it forward by helping others succeed as well. 

You didn't fail...you succeeded in verifying (and critically thinking about) something as opposed to just accepting it because others say it's true.Something that a lot of people confuse about the 2% and 50% rules though -- they aren't UNIVERSAL rules...they are rules OF THUMB (the term "rule" is often confused).  2% rule of thumb doesn't say you need to buy 2% properties, just that if you buy a 2% property, there's a reasonable chance (see exceptions disclaimer below) of generating decent returns.  50% rule of thumb doesn't say that every property, every year, in every location will throw off 50% expense ratio, just that a long-term, diverse average is about 50% (see exceptions disclaimer below).Of course, there are of exceptions to both of these rules of thumb. 

In any business in order for it to succeed you have to have a business plan , you have to policies and procedures not only in place but followed.
