I think that is highly optimistic over the long term.  

I’m cautiously optimistic to see how end of august and September do though. 

No I'm not big on education since I have a unique learning curve that in the past has frustrated many employers, and educators alike I have been to different events over time about real estate my uncle advice (who have been in real estate for years) "give up" but I'm not a very good listener I not only ignored the warning I literally opened an investment company I am just utterly determined to succeed but with 18,000 a year and 23,000 in debt I not want to but I must end this spinning rat wheel of living pay check to paycheck recently I was rear ended in a motor vehicle accidentThat almost took my life (thank God I walked away with my life) Now it resulted in lost wages now completely but greatly reduced And I'm still optimistic about it I had even been taunted by credit counselor saying (how can you buy real estate and your in major debt your credit score is garbage your wages are garbage you don't have enough experience in any one area to specialize in anything where are you gonna get money from?)

There are a couple reasons that those involved in Real Estate are more optimistic. 

But I am worried this will not fly and I end up sounding too optimistic. 

Developers coming into the late cycle that are over optimistic and timeline to finish and expected rents can lose their as$.

I recently found this site and am truly excited to interact with everyone, expand my knowledge and gain experience in real estate investing.My intention for 2016 is to buy my 2nd rental property (maybe 3rd and 4th, optimist here) and begin to better understand the ins and outs of the real estate market.

I liked Lance's "I smell a rat" comment, which in my mind is confirmed by the Seller's willingness to let you believe in overly-optimistic pro forma numbers, such as low property tax figures!

To move a property of that size in a month is beyond optimistic.

I'm in San Francisco and everything in my immediate area seems so expensive and competitive, and at the same time, there's a part of me that's more optimistic.
