I suspect some of this thinking is spurred on by Thanksgiving contemplation and beginning work on my BP blog (see link below).When I started investing in real estate I had a dream of wealth and the certainty that property evokes.Starting out with only student debt to my name, building wealth has always been important to me.Today that dream is still intact but added to it is a passion for serving others.Helping others make a home and providing for my family at the same time has largely replaced my more vague ambition for wealth.I enjoy being a provider of the roof over the head of my tenant.Being my tenant's keeper.It offers purpose, and one that feels wholesome.Why do you invest in real estate?

My goal is to be able to use my resources in finance to realize my ambition to create unlimited cash flow through real estate investing.  

@David Brown congrats on your ambition I think I speak for all of us when we say if only we would have had that thought back then, where would we be today.

@Kyle Alberry Love the ambition!

With your ambition and willingness to listen and learn, you will "sail" right up to that millionaire club quickly!

@Nicholas Lisauskas congratulations on having the ambition to look beyond a typically W-2 job.- it's always good to see another investor utilizing this great site!

I like your ambition to get your bachelors and masters. 

@Serj Kalfayan welcome to the site.Good luck on turning your ambitions into actions.

We have done really well in the Eastern part of Southern California buying and selling raw land.You are not alone in your real estate ambition.

Love living in San Diego but want to live near the coast and realize that you need to have some hefty ambition to make that a sustainable reality.
