2021: What A Year
2021 marked 10 years since I published the first post on this blog. At the time I was real estate agent and teacher who was about to begin law school and was looking for ways to better understand real estate modeling and real estate finance. I hoped to create a community of like-minded people so that we could explore ways to better value real estate properties and mortgages and discuss the market. Ten years and many experiences later this blog has grown and transformed into a general forum on all things real estate and I am amazed at the direction it has taken. 2021 has been an amazing year for TRET, so let’s take a look at the year in review.

Why Most People Don't Get Rich In Real Estate
This may seem harsh, but please
let me qualify my statement by saying that it is not easy to maintain consistent
motivation. Having sufficient motivation to push through real estate losses,
market downturns, bankruptcies or even years of unfruitful prospecting takes inner
strength. During down times and after particularly difficult lessons in real
estate, it can often feel like the experience was a sign to quit or move in a
different direction. It takes true motivation, self-confidence and some self-delusion
to look at a negative real estate experience, learn from the experience and continue
on. This motivation is intrinsic and it only comes from a goal-driven approach
to make it in a real estate. Quitting can never be an option. To that end, I want to share the following link to
“The Strangest Secret” by Earl Nightingale, in the hopes that it is helpful to
someone.
