Some of my colleagues and friends bought millions, others tens of millions, and some hundreds of millions (or Billions) during that period.Real estate is a funny game - it tends to go up, yes, but it does not always go up, and it can go nowhere for a decade or more, as a lot of apartment complex purchasers from 2021 are about to find out. 

Purchase price: $86,000 Cash invested: $2,500 After being done with Rich Dad, Poor Dad, several podcasts (including bigger pockets), and other resources we were desperate to take action.
