I'm not sure where I'm going, but I sure like the trajectory!

Typically those that come to me have tens of millions to hundreds of millions so you see their investing trajectory over many decades of time.

Competition is high, but in reality, we're on a trajectory to look almost identical to Denver and Austin...i.e. everything in this city is sitting at 50% of value considering a 20-year hold = wealth.

If you trust yourself more than the stock market, and like the control over your own finances and wealth trajectory, then this is a great strategy.

Real estate was the first step to securing the future trajectory, then the real money started to come in because RE income opened up significant new opportunities that weren’t open to others.

Your gut is telling you that purchasing something that produces virtually no yield is a bad choice even though others are telling you it's the best of the worst and the current trajectory certainly will continue in the future.  

They were meant to offer the average person a chance to alter their trajectory in life.  

Quite honestly, the knowledge you would gain by being in a self storage or Mobile Home park or Apartment Value-add deal for instance, and gaining experience owning and seeing operations of that asset is so unbelievably valuable.All this also sets you up to ramp up your education and with experience investing in these deals, and seeing the operations and reports, will launch you into possibly finding your own deals in these asset classes.This is an Exponential Business, its not fair at all, the ones who have experience get more brokers calling them get more syndicators reaching out, get more loans from banks.Deploying this lump sum into multiple deals super charges your learning and trajectory.

It was a sacrifice for both of us but it was especially hard on my loving wife because of expectations of privacy and frankly, getting adjusted to our trajectory in life (which I think has been a very good one since we got engaged).I do have some strong opinions on the matter.For many people, delayed gratification is a concept that needs to be discussed and acted on. 

There's enough city stuff in Spokane to get me by (They have ramen, sushi, $20 hamburgers etc if those are musts for anybody), but no traffic, an upward trajectory instead of downward in many ways (crime is down, wage/job growth up, etc), and of course the ID side doesn't have insane government policies that seek to destroy your financial life.
