I don't know if both of them just have had more familiarity with the slow and steady type of buyer waiting for their dream home, but it doesn't feel like either has had the sense of urgency I need them to have in looking for multi-families.

Six years ago, I followed my dream job as a video game C++ software engineer to Stockholm, Sweden where I work on AAA games that sell tens of millions of copies.

I don't want to deter you from your dreams and goals but why don't you invest the money you have in your online company and make that grow and more profitable?

This is for a variety of reasons, but mainly because I have dreamed of living in North Lake Tahoe. 

I recently became a homeowner on Oahu, a lifelong dream of my wife and I...we’re originally from Los Angeles, CA.

But there is a pattern I've observed:  Go to a "free" seminar, get pumped with the idea of no money down REIGo home and start wholesaling Don't find a deal in a year Abandon the REI dream I say to people all the time if you have some money $25k or more [and you do Maria it's in your home as equity], then buy something just skip the wholesale step unless you are like super young with a ton of energy to dissipate on chasing sellers and investor "buyers". 

I also have this dream of getting a group of investors together and buying a bunch awesome vacation rentals around the world and doing a sort of timeshare, but where you make money... 

But you have to start somewhere, sometime.Keep looking, but don't let your dream of a smoking deal keep you on the sidelines forever. 

Hello BP,I have spent hours combing through old posts learning the world of commercial real estate investing.It has always been my dream to buy a small to mid size apt complex.However, I live in Seattle, and I quickly realized I was priced out of the market.

Then you have what you are talking about, which is basically all of the California cities, where the rents won't cover the expenses.You're not dreaming.
