How has failure shaped your life?

By year 7, it's something like a 98% failure rate.     

Hey Patrick.I applogize for my poor phrasing.With a hold out I meant a non-paying tenant dead set on doing everything in their power to remain in the unit for as long as possible.Basically needing to evict with reason, either failure to pay rent, or being a literal hold out at the end of a lease where they refuse to leave should you want to replace them with a new tenant for whatever reason.

Attempting to start an investment career at the same time you are starting a career with a high likelihood of failure means there is a good chance you will fail at both.

What I did was compared apples to apples and researched based on a simple Algorithm of statistics, success rates and failures, HANDS ON Flipping Strategies against THEORY DIY (Do It Yourself). 

That was this past Friday (counting down the days) so obviously this could end up being a failure but I'm okay with that

I could go on and on but there’s a reason the failure rate is massive.

Care to share your success/failures with the project?

Don't think that one particular out of state market will shoot you to success or abject failure.

@Patricia Steiner my lease states in summary that no dogs, cats or pets will be permitted in the property unless written consent given by the landlord , failure to obtain written permission will result in a $25 fine per day that the pet is present without written permission.
