I have billionaire  dreams and I’m willing to do whatever it takes stepping into the new year hoping to attract nothing but good energy!

As crazy as this sounds you can exit faster and with less harm than leaving the military(lol).I think there are only 3 people in the WORLD who became Billionaires working for someone else(versus owning/selling/starting a company or being born with a Billion) up until 2010ish.  

2) Assuming it's not a local billionaire,  what's the operator's experience?

In general, their 'costs' are paid from the sales proceeds and they leave closing with a check or other monetary instrument (like a wire transfer......I'm sure real cash has been used from time to time, maybe bitcoin....you get the idea, something worth liquid money). 

I know billionaires who keep it in there name and don’t give a you know what as you wouldn’t notice them even if they were walking down the street

My first partner, (who I should have stayed partnered to) Maury Wilder, became one of the industry billionaires long before he died.  

It great that you have four properties and have done research to explore possible solutions.We are all work in progress.Listening to other successful investor stories, helpsLearning to "embrace" rather than to" avoid" is the way to go in networking, being "successful", real estate investing in general.Sheldon Adelson, billionaire, Las Vegas Sands owner, said "change the status quo....do things the way other people don't do them...then you'll be successful"Doing things the way other people dont do them, makes us contrarian.....but holding steadfast to sound investment criteria as Warren Buffet suggest (calm temperament) gets us through to success

I would find one, buy it, and give it to my kids in 30 years along with a little story about how life has ups and downs and we shouldn't let that push us into a fear induced state of inactivity.Or just buy bitcoin...

Real Estate Meetups, Bitcoin Meetups, House Hack Meetups, Financial Independence Meetups are all good places to start!  

It's not exactly the same thing but it kind of reminds me of someone who wants to get in on the bitcoin money train now, or buy Tesla now.
