It’s a win-win for us we get full price without a commission closing costs,they get a dream house in their neighborhood that they want for their kids and while they rent for a while and then buy it.”So I take a lot of time with the seller to try to get them to think this way.It also avoids buyers remorse, where the seller says “oh my God what I just do???

In my career outside of real-estate I have accomplished things you could only dream about.

When I look at properties, I like to add in some appreciation, just to see what that does to my numbers, but that's just making my dream spreadsheet and not what I use to decide if it's a good deal.I'm not there yet, but it seems the bigger guys want to make sure there is enough cash flow to meet their requirements, but they rely heavily on appreciation to create the wealth they are after.

Hello folks,           I've been going after my dream which is to own and operate an apartment complex.

I am living the dream yet left wanting.

Agreed @Arlan Potter: I'm only at 1 rental but my hopes and dreams are unlimited. 

One of my dreams is a campground and am currently investigating the purchase of one in Grays Harbor area.

Not that I want to sell because having a passive income is the DREAM ...

I suggest you learn real estate, not what some crap for brains dreams up to circumvent laws telling you can make big money.....while you feed deal to them or buy their books or go to their seminars.
