He didn't get there over night.

We actually have a rea estate boot camp coming up. 

Success wont come over night.

I may not be able to teach you overnight but I can show you the map that has taken me here!

Someone buying in the Bay Area for the longterm might be able to make a -$200/month cash flow property go positive in less than 6 month or 6 years, but they see rent prices move that much overnight.

I had forty dollars in my pocket when I reported to work in that fish camp.

When I bought my place in Boston, the neighbor's houses gained $50k in equity overnight) Or maybe I can do the $1 in-family sale? 

There will be overnight contractors materialize, out of town labor, scams and other shenanigans that some of these poor homeowners will discover within months that quality was not prioritized in the remediation of their homes. 

@Ryan EvansYou guys camping in the house while you are Cle?

Yes, over time you can look and see good returns and maybe better than real estate investing but it can be more volatile and scary drops can happen over night and out of nowhere.
