The term “real estate business owner,” is heavily associated with being rich and owning a lot of luxury cars. The media, particularly social media, has a way of exclusively showing the perks of being a successful real estate investor, but what a lot of people don’t realize is there are a lot of uglies happening behind the scenes. It’s not always rainbows and butterflies, as the song goes, and it’s no different in this industry.

Today, Don and Ryan discuss some of the worst things that could be said about this industry from the perspective of a business owner. They share their recent setbacks, how they happened, why they happened, and how they resolved them. They also explain why these setbacks are normal and how investors should confront them.

“It's not systemizing the business that's challenging. It's the controlling the human variable the system depends on.” - Ryan Scialabba
