A diary of RE investing:with real numbers and photos.And no BS.
I compiled an actual diary of 6 years worth of my own personal real life real estate deals.
Complete with all numbers and photos.
Just so you know it's not all sexy and fancy all the time.
Ordinary people still build wealth every day...the old fashioned way.
Without some fancy strategy of "syndication" or super-risky use of leverage.
No loans from dad and mom.
Nothing.
Just common sense traditional disciplined investing.
I put all of that in a member blog post you can access here:

Let me know your thoughts.
Charles.

Thanks for sharing @Charles A.
Definitely feels a bit pie in the sky sometimes as the outrageously fortunate deals/instances of investing are the ones shared most. Good to see patience and perseverance rewarded in your story.
