In the midst of leaving my family business and selling the majority of my equity to launch into the RE world.

This includes apartments, condominiums, and single family homes.

Millions upon millions of jobs lost "forever" ("exported" to the "third world"), more millions lost half or more of their retirement accounts, creditors slashed and burned consumer credit to the point where, by the banksters' own numbers, some 74% of Americans wound up with "bad" credit (it was only 47% before they did that), ...Now, add in the knee-jerk responses in the lending industry and you've got a situation where only the elite of formerly middle-class wage earners can even hope to qualify for new home loans.In fact, the given the current housing shortage (yet more fallout from the crash), it is ONLY the dearth of lending which is keeping home prices from launching into interstellar space by suppressing demand.

I share the details here to show what a series of small low-risk transactions can do over the medium and long term to build passive income for retirement.The PA is for a 1 BR condominium unit in a 150 unit complex where we already have 22 units, bought in 3 earlier transactions.  

., started a family and am possibly looking into starting my graduate degree in January of 2017.I’ve been quite interested in entrepreneurship for a while now and have chosen Real Estate as the venture that I believe will launch me into an entrepreneurial career as well as trading in FOREX.

After graduating from school I moved out to San Mateo, California to live closer to family and launch my career.

It appears that for many, many, many years the owners, boards and management had treated the building and units more as a Condominium in that each owner was responsible for the repairs to their own units, whether they lived there or rented (any damage to the inside of the unit was the sole responsibility of the unit owner).2 years ago, the board at that time brought on a new management company.  

Mark has utilized his diverse background to facilitate and advise the launch of many successful business start-ups in fields ranging from multi-family housing to specialty food and apparel manufacturing.

Thank You Bill.My partner and I will be launching thing first of the year...just putting our system together and educating ourselves on other markets.  

If the latent demand held back by the lack of lending were to be uncorked, you'd see home prices launch into inter-stellar space.You really kinda need to let go of the "bubble" misnomer.
