Besides, it will only get easier after the first one.Showing that it can clearly be done in a 20 year span with a simple plan should make it obvious that with some more action and less patience the whole thing could be accelerated significantly.

Buyer's have short attentions spans and with the 8K credit expiring, you can't be too surprised.

Now some are looking for a 60 year life span.

Am I in the twilight zone did I just read that you are calling Obama a big fat liar :wowo: He's lied about a lot of things...He said he'd put every bill before Congress on the Internet for at least 5 days before voting on it (lie), he said the first thing he'd do as President is pull out of Iraq (lie), tougher rules on lobbyists and former officials (lie), negotiate health care reform in public sessions on C-SPAN (lie)...Just because I don't fabricate reasons to hate the guy (like a lot of people here do), I can still take an objective view of his ability to follow-through on his campaign promises.Many of those promises he's kept, many he's broken, and many more remain to be seen.

On occasion I would buy way too many houses in a short span and decide to wholesale one.

The ones that stopped in time made out, the ones that didn;t got caught holding their very expensive house that declined by 50% in value and all their hard work over that 2-3 year span vanished into thin air!

It goes along with the new psychology of social media, and goldfish-like attention span of our culture.

I bought a duplex and an SFR (within 2 months span) and I truly got lucky with these in terms of pricing and timing.  

In that time span, this place has blown up.  

Total return on total investment over the entire life span on the investment is what matters to me.
