Hahaahhaahaha yeah dude you totally got me there.
I know what investing is.
But what I am trying to say is that if you are only doing real estate, or any other form of investing solely for money, then you are going to end up like @Jerryll and have to pump his programs to keep afloat financially.
There are intrinsic and extrinsic values to investing..... money being extrinsic, and your 'why' factor being the intrinsic. Maybe your 'why' factor is for financial freedom, sure. But many others, including me, are not egotistical, money-hungry, rainbow chasers who listen to BP all day and take 0 action claiming to be "flipper/rehabber in Sacramento".
I do real estate for more than just a monthly check. I do it to help my family as well as my community. Purchasing ran down houses, flipping them into turn-key residencies, and renting them out for a fair price, where both the tenant and I feel like we both won, drives me more in life than anything else.
Yes, getting a check every month in the mail is fun. Yes, seeing your equity build is fun. Yes, quitting your job is fun. But if you are doing real estate solely for money and nothing else, you are going to get burnt out really quick and go chase bitcoin and other pump and dumps and end up like 90% of the other real estate investors here not take any action.
-- but like I said, do what you think is best. Chase the golden dollar and see where you end up a few years from now.
