I cannot begin to explain how surreal this process has been (though I am sure most of you understand) and I cannot wait to get my first property under my belt so I can start looking towards my second :) Excited to take a step deeper into this community and into my real estate journey!

VERY SURREAL !.

Its pretty crazy, and is pretty surreal that these prices are in a major US city too.

Pretty surreal to finally collect rent on our 4-unit apartment complex that we finally closed 3 months after we made our original offer.  

Alternatively, if foreign countries beat us to recovery, their investment markets may present better growth opportunities for investors which can devalue the dollar and force the end to any sort of QE (that'd be strange but not more surreal than current reality). 

I looked at a couple when house hunting, it was surreal.

Feels surreal given the recession and unemployment.I´m sure the pendulum will swing the other way, especially when foreclosures start again, but it could take quite a while for supply to exceed demand. 

With no other lender in first position, it seems surreal that there's no way to tap the equity of the apartment just becasue we are not residing in it.

This has been a dream of mine for years (although I really started my real estate daydreaming with owning parking lots) and it seems surreal that I am finally doing it.

Speaking as a person who just stuck his toes in the water I have noticed at every turn in my education of the game there is always someone else marketing their success by surrounding themselves in some sort of surreal euphoric background to stress how their system is unlike any other that for just a measly $6000+ you can obtain the same if not more with just a cell phone and a pencil!!!
