Yes the profits are smaller as well, however the drive and ambition it takes to beat a market, applies to all investors in all markets. 

You are not alone in your real estate ambition.

I just recently got married and my wife, Ana, who is a wonderful supporter of my RE ambitions, has agreed to house hacking for our first investment.

Now the population of my city is only 200K, but I guarantee you that if I lived in Cleveland, I would still know them all.I guarantee you that if you had the vision, the ambition, the guts, and the follow through that you could easily wholesale 100 houses next year in Cleveland by just applying some basic principles.

Emotions to drive your ambition, math to drive your purchases. 

I am a recent graduate with similar ambitions.

P.S "Never give up because of a mistake, because mistakes make us who we are" "Never doubt yourself because doubt will slowly shatter you ambitions and you will never achieve your dreams" :woohoo:

Anyone with a strong ambition can reach ranks of this guy, it just takes the urge to learn and act out on your knowledge!

Future ambitions are events that HAS NOT happened yet.
