Drive around the Valley today and you’ll see lots of blue “community signs’” proudly designating dreamed up names for sub-neighborhoods that want to distinguish themselves from Los Angeles’s older established neighborhoods.

Thanks everyone.. my issue is im a parent and my family just recently bought our dream home.

Shane, I use Tracey of American Dream.

“IF ALL YOU HAD IN THIS WORLD WAS $100K EQUITY IN A HOME......HOW WOULD YOU START YOUR DREAM OF FINANCIAL WEALTH THROUGH REAL ESTATE??????

My dream is to buy a 3fam and do a condo conversion, so most likely 1st Floor --> duplex garden unit, 2nd floor --> two 1 beds w/ balcony, Top floor --> 2 bed/2.5 bath w/ roof access, common roof space for other tenants potentially, then sell the units myself. 

The world of real estate has allowed me to build the life that most people only dream of. 

Just a small town South Dakota kid with teachers for parents and a dream to do something more.

A recent online survey of 2,325 California residents, taken between Nov. 4 and Nov. 23 by the Public Policy Institute of California, found 26% of residents have seriously considered moving out of state and that 58% say that the American Dream is harder to achieve in California than elsewhere in the United States.I'm willing to work hard to make RE investment pay off over time, but I do wonder if I'd be better starting with out-of-state, where it might be easier. 

It’s been a long dream of my to start a business so this is a first step closer to that goal.

Start investing in the US to learn and create a war chest and invest overseas some day or find out how to live your dream right away.
