I check the wave of real estate cycles back when Warren Buffet said people need to buy homes back in 2001.

I think we just need a name for the loyal Bigger Pocket posters...Like those following the Greatful Dead were call DeadheadsJimmy Buffet has his Parrot HeadsWhat are we called?

(MASSIVE BANK ACCOUNT)He is quite the business man.

Action always conquers fear.Take action...but know what you're doing.Warren Buffet said it best:Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.- Warren Buffet My guess is most of these folks have legitimate reason for their fear...they don't know what they are doing.Get the education to know what you're doing and the fear disappears.Good Luck!

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.
