Once you stop worrying about what others are doing or think about what you are doing a very liberating thing happens.Then after awhile, you will stop worrying about what others have or make in relation to yourself.

@Tom Webber- one of the greatest advantages to RE is leverage, which comes in the form of OPM...The liberal arts answer is, just as you've pointed out, that most people don't have the capacity to throw cash around.  

This means that the rest of the graduates of these conservatories, simply put, bounce on ****...Please tell me why in the hell anyone will pay these amounts or anything near to learn music, art, or any other liberal art thing...No **** the millennials have Net Worth of $12,000, or whatever it is.

I'm practically a bleeding heart liberal and even I don't use the phrase "ruling class".How I would love some of that same data analyzed and written about by someone who could reign it in a little and stick to the facts.

For a business owner with $100,000 taxable annual income, the net tax savings for using an S Corporation instead of an LLC in taxes paid every year can be as high as $7,500.Holding PropertiesWhen holding properties as a cash flow investor, the LLC (or LP) is generally the better choice because an LLC has more liberal distribution rules.

You hit an even bigger jackpot just by being born in America.I don't think his luck diminishes your luck.

The affordable markets are generally characterized by more liberal land use regulation, which is associated with greater housing affordability."

hopefully okay if i share liberally with others that i come across.  

Just another Democrat/Liberal who has no idea how the finances and job markets of our country work.

Real estate investment is the vehicle I have chosen to help liberate me from being leveraged by employers.Thoughts?
