Are you TRULY ready to begin your Real Estate Investing Journey?
Real estate investing is one of the most rewarding ventures you can pursue, but let’s be clear—it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s life-changing, yes, but it requires you to change your life.
~ This is not something that will happen overnight.
~ This is not something you can achieve without pushing yourself.
~ And this is definitely not something you can succeed in without total dedication.
Real estate investing (REI) is only for those who are ready to commit their time, energy, and focus to achieve real results. It’s NOT easy—but it’s worth it..

My Journey: The Hard Truth About Starting Out
When I started my real estate journey, I was optimistic. I thought I’d close deals within weeks, maybe a couple of months at most. I thought, “How hard could it really be?”
Well, here’s how it went:
It took me 6 months of generating leads.
After I generated the leads, I went through 5 contracts that completely fell apart.
I faced rejection after rejection, learned tough lessons, and had to tweak my approach over and over again.
Finally, I closed my first deal.
All of my setbacks set my up to succeed and close my first contract. I took my mistakes, learned from them, and never let another lead or contract slip through again. I took full advantage of every lead because I learned how valuable one single lead is.
What I learned: The process takes time, and it requires a lot more leads than you’d expect to make progress.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: What You Should Expect
If you’re just getting started in REI, let’s set some realistic expectations:
It takes 2-3 months of consistent lead generation and follow-up to start converting leads into contracts.
You’ll need about 30-40 leads to close just one deal.
The key to success isn’t luck or shortcuts—it’s relentless follow-up and staying consistent no matter how discouraging it feels at times.
The biggest misconception I see with new investors is expecting leads to magically convert into contracts right away. That’s not how it works. Success in real estate investing comes from putting in the effort, day in and day out.
REI Is Hard—But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
