Quote from @John Clevenger: Hey all, as more of the world is taking on AI especially in the wake of chat GPT, I'm curious what other are doing, or thinking would be cool to do in the real estate field with the integration of AI. 

None of these things will bring success tomorrow, but with doing them consistently every day, I will wake up in 5,10,20,30,40,60 years and be miles ahead of everyone else.2) Never stop learningThere is only growth or decay, there is no middle ground.

I never wake up dreading my work day, as a matter of fact, I look forward to getting to work every day. 

Wake up people!

Wake Forest and Garner are coming around, a little tighter and less streamlined.

You don't wake up one morning and decide "I'm going to be a brain surgeon today!"

If the economy takes a downturn, you could wake up to a very uncomfortable email from your lender restricting your access to credit from the HELOC at a time where you might need it the most.

Youre right, but if you are doing the work yourself it can be daunting because the buck stops with you and having that responsibility on your plate 24/7 every waking hour of the day and putting in 12 hour days, it can be rough.

The problem is that it take far more effort to LIVE that dream that it is to wake up from that Dream.I teach Real Estate Investing on the side and I will tell you 95% of the students are sitting in class dreaming or pretending that they are improving their lives just by attending the class.In the end, they don't really study.I give a Spreadsheet exam at the end of a 12 week / 1 class per week session on building a 10 Year Pro-Forma business plan for your Real Estate and I will tell you 95% fail out right.Being in class is more about dreaming than it is about putting in the effort to learn the skills to be an Investor.

My goal is 25 doors in 5 years, my struggle right now is deciding to either go back to work and save up money to continue or come up with a way to leverage financing to stay afloat myself and stick with it, waking up everyday 100% dedicated to my real estate.
