The reason you haven't closed on a deal this month, is because you are committed to closing a deal this month and not Committed to cold calling 10 MLS listings every day for the next month.The reason you can't get rid of that stubborn belly fat, is because you are committed to loosing belly fat and not committed to running 3 miles a day.Essentially, my epiphany is nothing short of this.Focus on the process and the results will come.

I'm trying to purchase a 6 unit that needs some work and the 25% down required by most lenders will  eat up too much of my cash.Anyone know of a private lender who will go 80% on commercial who lends in NY?

I would be more than willing to trade some of my time or as many In-N-Out burgers as you can eat in exchange for a tour of one of your local deals! 

So in  5 to 8 years it would be nice to live somewhere else than here, because even though we want to retire early we have no aspirations to waste money on frivolous luxury items other than a vacation or two per year and eating all-organic vegan food and one day returning to college.
