Its strictly a traffic play with hopes that we get massive amount of hits later down the road.

We just made a MASSIVE UPGRADE to the property directory and I wanted to invite you to post all of your Properties for Sale, Lease, and all of your real estate deals on our site.

We buy in areas that are undervalued, buy a massive discounts to create instant forced appreciation, develop some assets, use the cashflow to support holding the portfolio and acquiring more and sell when the market returns.

Barry,You have the right idea with buying and holding.....which is the true path to real estate wealth.If you take massive action, you will certainly be able to go full time within 10 years.

So, even if the seller says "yes", the buyer can still just walk away.That said, I've heard people (well, OK, guru's) talk about faxing out massive amounts of LOIs directly to the listing office, hoping to get a bite.

This is an interesting thread.I count financial independence as 'not needing to work any more', and I think it is possible, but only if you had a MASSIVE windfall, split the money into lots of different places, and lived simply.I'm surprised to read people saying their wants could expand to fill their income.

The government encouraged this malinvestment on a massive scale and eventually the economic fundamentals simply caught up with us.

A few years ago a company I worked with did the premium texts thing (text a name of a product to a number to get a brief review sent back to you) - it was profitable, but not a massive success - maybe now that texts are cheaper it may be more popular.

If my own business dries up, I don't want to have massive amounts of debt to the point my back breaks.

That's going to take a non-trivial company to handle a batch like that.Could, though, turn into a massive, fairly quick selloff.
