I'm not confident in my response on this one, but I have a feeling that @Rich NG or @Charlie MacPherson would know? 

If you got into it 10 years ago when it was essentially a dump, you would be a very happy and rich REI.Rents are very high per square footage; if you buy a condo, you're buying it at a premium most likely.

It's sort of forestalling my goals as i read and listen to everything i can on here in a day it all comes back to that one question as a beginner "getting the money to start" which I'm sure 80% of people can agree is the problem.To start REI, without knowing anyone rich or any prior experience that will grant me a HML and sometimes even a PML, what are some of your ideal thoughts? 

I've taken some big leaps of faith because of Bigger Pockets (and Rich Dad Poor Dad) over the last few months and couldn't be happier.

Hello @Rich Nordstrom, welcome to the site!

I’m sure I sound like every other joe shmo who gets on the website and is hoping for a get rich quick scheme but I’d like to consider myself not one of them.

If I'm ever in the podcast, I will say it is Rich Dad Poor Dad)I have one commercial and one retail property, another that is scheduled to close in about a week, and one auction I was considering only because it was a street away from my newest property and I really like the neighborhood.
