If I had to start my real estate career over again........
What would I do? Anything different? More of the same?
I don't think I would change too much, because I've had a very rewarding career so far.
HOWEVER, there is one thing that I would definitely change: Being FEARLESS.
When I first started out, I was so afraid of making a mistake that there was a good amount of time where I felt self-paralyzed. My actions were more reflective of not making a mistake more than they were about just wearing my heart on my sleeve and allow the fates to take me where they must.

VERY HARD. There were times when I was working 70-hour work weeks. At my present age, I could not sustain that kind of intensity. But I am grateful for the rewards that time period has brought me.
I started as a mentee in a large brokerage, and they had all the support resources one could want. So in hindsight, I really had not much to fear.
Other than that, I probably would have followed the same course because after my first couple of years, I reached the point where my knowledge of contracts, client profiling, real estate loans and real estate law had become fluent enough where I started to feel pretty fearless.
