Don't Mistake an Unmet Expectation for a Loss

Jimmy and Ryan discuss the differences between unmet expectations and losses. Some people quit after their first loss, while others find other earning opportunities after.

A lot of people get into the game of real estate investing and financial planning with the expectations of getting a consistent year-over-year return. Most people start thinking about making new investments with the money they’ll earn from those returns.

When this doesn’t happen, and the investment falls through, people start panicking.

But is that the case? Have you really lost money? Should this discourage you that much? Listen to our latest episode to find out.
