I guess for me, someone who is interested in real estate investing, would be to be able to control my worth. A normal 9-5 job/career tells you what you are worth and takes 40 hrs or more of time, that could be spent on raising your family. With real estate investing, I can be in control of my own worth, not someone else's bottom line. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a 9-5 job. however, for me, all I know is struggle. Real estate is my way out of poverty. Yes, it requires knowledge and hardwork. I know that I may fail from time to time. I even risk losing everything. I would rather risk it all and control my worth and spend 20-40 yrs in a career, which a rolex to show for my hardwork. 

This is interesting! Can't wait for part 2! Taking notes while at work!

I never thought of writing down why I want to get into real estate. finding the a deeper reason as to why, I should say. This is some great advice!

Baron: The Real Estate Simulation is one game I've heard of. It's an 1980's real estate game. has anyone heard about it or played it before? 

 Hey Rich, I played the game on the link you provided. It's a nice game but not what i was looking for. I understand the concept behind it. It has a lot of glitches. however, instead of  houses popping up, The game I envisioned would be an open world game.

 David, I totally forgot about simcity. I have to agree that the mechanics of that game as well as The SIMs, would most likely work in the this type of game. If there were someway to use that format and , as you said, setup a banking engine, it might make for a good, educational game.

 I will checkout the link when I get home. It might bring me some ideas! Thanks!

I wonder if anyone else have an idea in regards to this topic?

 Well, my initial thought is to create a game, similar to the Monopoly computer game. However, I'm thinking that it would be better to create a SIMS inspired game, that follows the guidelines of both traditional and creative real estate investing. Maybe and open world type of game, where mostly, residential markets are covered and based on current or recent events in the housing market. The rest I'm thinking through, as afar as different scenarios and such.
