My husband wants to be near reasonably priced golf, and they seem to have a nice beach, an abundance of reasonably priced condos, and it's a safe and desirable area. 

To me it boils down to those with a scarcity mindset vs an abundance mindset.

Despite the seemingly abundant headlines about institutions diving head first into the single family housing market, they only control only 2% – 3% of single family rentals.

My impression of FIRE is that it's not a mindset of abundance.

Should I focus on surviving and then building or should I focus on abundance?

I am about to purchase a business which will be phenomenal for cash flow, and is an area that has abundant  opportunity for real estate investing.

There are more actors in this industry than their are in Hollywood...an abundance of caution is warranted. 

Sadly, there is an abundance of people who are blissfully ignorant and they are buying over-priced properties because they are either too ignorant to do simple math, too lazy and/or they are ignorant enough to invest based on advice from either people who are ignorant or based on advice from people who have their own agenda.People are crazy! 

Our plan is to keep the powder dry and be ready to jump on opportunities as they start to become more abundant.

That action and the abundance of the VA loans has kept me from investing in Killeen.
