Most people don't realize it but they are already in the real estate business. As homeowners they are investing and managing a small real estate business that has the potential to carry them all the way through old age. That's powerful.
Then why is it most Americans stop there? Why don't they invest in more real estate? What's holding them back? Is it fear? Lack of money? Laziness?
The real reason is more sinister. Most people do not want the hassle of dealing with property management. Some tenants have such bad reputations that many would be investors will walk away leaving virtual fortunes on the table. Does it really have to be like that? After eighteen years as a landlady, I vote absolutely "no".
Here is my solution: Try real estate out. Once. If a real estate investment creates more present problems than it solves, go to the next option. Hire a property manager. Then re-invest in more properties.
That's how you can get started. This website will help you move toward your goals of becoming financially independent in the investment that has made more American millionaires than any other. What's stopping you?
