. - don’t go into massive amounts of debt to get a degree; work your tail off to earn income to pay for your schooling, seek out financial aid, scholarships.

I decided to transition into real estate sales with the intention of learning the transaction side in order to aid my future investments.I currently own a 1B/1B condo in Lake Forest, CA.

A lot of us (80%) who stumble upon simplepassivecashflow.com and start drinking Kool-Aide will be financially free in 4-7 years pending taking action.

But that same idea would yield considerably more if I applied it to the closest neighboring town where I was paying $2.25sf for restaurant space and residential rates are 63% higher.

A lady on oxygen walks by with her health aide, we say hi, and she goes to the lobby to wait for a ride.

I'm doing the research on it as we speak.And @Brian Garlington the closest comp I can find is a property that sold in may with similar size but half the beds, half the units and one less bath...and that sold for $130,000.

The back yard realistically would need to be cleared and graded, but we have a brook that runs through and cuts the yard in half so I figure we have to clear and grade the half that is closest to the house but the area that is beyond the brook can stay wild and woody.

A lot of people are drinking the kool-aid right now.

I was buying court house steps in fort Meyers  new or near new homes for 30 to 40k cash at the steps in 093. my well documented clients in PHX AZ losing 4 plexs they paid 350k for in 05 and having them go vacant and they let them go to foreclosure thereby ruining their credit and losing whatever cash they had in them.. 2010 they were selling for 100k or less and still vacant.so on and so forth.As long as credit does not freeze the values have been reset .. those that were lucky or smart enough or came of age to be investors and bought in the trough historic low price points historic low interest  many paid cash as financing was still tough.. so as long as they don't drink the cool aid and refi out and leverage up you have the makings of a very strong asset base.. plus all the foreigners who paid cash there were literally hundreds of thousands of homes paid for in cash by Off shore folks.. then add in the half a million or more that were bought by hedge funds.. 

Somebody will be making lemon aid from your sloppy lemons if you don’t.
