I believe that real estate is an opportunity like no other

For some time now I have been reading real estate investing books, borrowed money that I didnt have for an expensive program not knowing that I had to pay another $15,000 for a mentoring program for only 1 strategy.
Here is a little backround on myself. I live in Hawaii, born n raised. There is not one person in my family that is wealthy. Always renting n struggling. I dont want that life for my family. Last year I had made $18,000 NET! thats after working over 1200 hours. When I hear that people are locking up deals n assigning them for $10k its just amazing.
I am having trouble taking action. I know thats the answer, I dont know what it is though. Is it fear, is it uncertainty. I know that this is something that I need to and definately will overcome so that I too can do assignments and real fix n flips, while helping people.
Thats what its all about. Why not get paid generously by helping others. Im all for it!
