Then again, that could be a limiting belief - however, there's too much evidence to suggest otherwise.

@Chris Mason about 5 months ago I mentioned that things were changing pace, because I had been looking religiously for a deal.

Alot of people buy lottery tickets some religiously and from what I read in the papers they are the most likely to win and even win multiple of times.

I listen to podcasts religiously.

Find that belief in yourself, take that risk, act, move, do something to build a new you.

Therefore, it is my belief that a 3-5% Cap Rate with a Strong possibility for appreciation and a hassle free tenant is not a bad investment.

Until they see massive checks, their belief in real estate will be anything but massive.And lastly, why even talk to family about real estate investing?

I think given that this is a public forum, people are allowed to share their opinions and beliefs.

Held this belief for a few years that it would correct hard from the top once it showed signs of cracking.

@Joe SplitrockI think the large apartment complex do annual raises already, the only "victim" are small MFH landlords who rent below market....The latter will now do their annual raise religiously....and the end result is higher rent......
