Doubling your money for installing a staircase and making some small floor plan modifications is an investors dream.   

The distance between dreams and reality is called action.

I hear the very same thing from many people with dreams that went to a seminar. 

Hi everybody- One of my goals this year is to build/join a team of high character individuals in the business (agents and brokers, local lenders, attorney, CPA, contractors, property management, and so on...) 
 As my...

But, I would also bet a lot of it is by sophisticated investors deciding it’s time to buy that dream vacation/retirement home and rent it out (short or long term) until they’re ready to quit/retire.

We did want acreage, although it's not our ideal locationAdvantages - enjoy the acreage, lock in the gains on our current home, let our income grow over the next few years and purchase a "dream" property in a more desirable location.I also believe this would increase our gains significantlyDisadvantages - maintaining acreage, cost of moving and getting a new home built or M/H setup, and having to move in a few more years.

Although I am just starting out, I am eagerly interested in purchasing my first multifamily property as soon as I can, (my dream would be to purchase a 20 unit). 

Never thought in my wildest dreams my biggest problem would be finding someone to just call.

My dream has always been to run my own company that specializes in buying rental properties, flipping these properties, and then selling them (similar to the BRRR strategy) that I just read about in my brother's book).

What is your dream scenario as a Real Estate Brokerage Owner?
