Hi all,I've been a REI for about 3 years now and have finally decided to make the leap and do more deals (the last time I made a deal was 3 years ago, when I started).I've been re-educating myself (books, web) for the past few months and wanted to join a club, meet like minded individuals and learn more from those that are DOING rather than DREAMING.

(that doesn't even deserve an answer) * How can I use real estate to make my dreams come true?

When you always try to take a different route to see a part of the town you have never seen before.When you see a "For Rent" sign and wonder how much they are charging.Bonus points if you pull out your cell phone and call the number immediately to find out.When your in a large city you look at the apartment buildings and try to guesstimate how many doors there are and what the market value would be for that building.And a bonus for dreaming of owning a building that big some day.

Is he dreaming, or has anyone else done this?

You're not alone in your "I failed to become a millionaire at 35 dream," but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

I lack the motivation to show other people homes.My lack of motivaiton may come from the fact that my mindset is on investing and not on finding dream homes.

Well, Freddie Mac just outlined that if they buy your new mortgage you can only have 3 properties mortgaged plus the investment you're borrowing on.That limits how fast any of us can move in traditional financing markets with a stock piling dream.

I couldn't dream of paying someone else to do it. 70% of my rehab time is in plumbing and electrical work.

It demonstrates that with Determination that ANYONE Can Overcome ANY Obstacles to Accomplish their Goals & Dreams!

I am grateful to be living in a country where I can go after my dreams and it is up to me to attain them!
