Something which only time can do traditionally.

I totally understand the excitement learning and dreaming of becoming rich one day, and you are left to regret that you would have been on top, if you never did the investment. 

When you do a traditional 1031 exchange you have 45 day identification period, to provide a list of potential replacement properties and 180 days to close on a replacement.

Investors may like the income on the spreadsheet, but the appraiser for a traditional loan won't care.

This is the recipe for get rich slowly.

The reason sellers cannot sell these properties through the traditional market is often due to certain issues, and 98% of the time, these issues are not beneficial to you as a buyer.

One of my best friends thinks I'm rich and while I may have more than she does, I she was earning more than me for a lot longer (I make more than her now) but she spent her money on $6K vacations. 

Purchase price: $8,000 Cash invested: $20,000 In 2013, I decided to put much of what I had learned from books into action by purchasing a two-bedroom home—not as a traditional investment property, but as a home for my mother.

For years I have seen postcards and ads inviting me to a Rich Dad seminar.

In a traditional MLS sale, there are realtor fees, there can be concessions, there can be work orders and delays.
