I know of a few people who are pretty stretched out and in their declining years in Bensalem's Hidden Valley section.

Also if you want to become an agent, you need to be able to go long stretches of time with no income.  

With the substantial reduction in available funds, I have been doing almost all of the work myself to make the remaining funds stretch.  

I am stretching my knowledge base out into the multi-family market with plans for expansion into that arena soon!

Stretched over 50 years it will likely go to at least three generations and maybe four.

sure, at this point, you know little of the path you want to follow, but you knew little of the previous path you followed. you have nothing to fear, you have been where you are now, before, and look how far you have come. choose another direction, follow another path, and enjoy the ride. its gonna have its ups and downs like any other ride, but you made it before, you will make it again. doing 2 houses a week is a bit of a stretch and  think thats something that happens a lot less than people want to tell you, but you can make decent money at real estate, in any level you choose. i say go for it, you have the knowledge. i believe you can overcome any hurtle you come across. 

@Doug McLeod Thanks for the words of encouragement@Jacob Thompson  I know what you mean by having your time stretched thin while trying to make a transition into real estate investing but keep up the learning and it will all fall into place.Account Closed Thats good to hear.  

After watching the video I'd love to hear how you stretch the $4k.

I do think you're right about setting stretch goals, but no matter what I'm likely never going to retire, just a function of boredom than actually not needing to retire!

How far do you stretch your budget to purchase something hoping that the value will increase long term?
