I have explored a variety of online and physical side hustles, but now it's time to transition to brick-and-mortar as I build towards my dream of creating my own private equity firm.I am officially closing soon on the acquisition of an absentee gas station and laundromat business.

Often the most fulfilling achievements in our lives happen because we dared to dream!

Is there a way around this or are my dreams dead because the govt, who wants to fix the housing crisis, will not let a first time homebuyer do something that is perhaps the #1 solution to making housing cheaper in a market like Denver?

SCENARIO: You quit your W-2, but you have $100,000 in cash and five single-family homes that produce $75,000 in cash flow and have $400,000 in equity. 
What is your strategy to move forward in the real estate world?

It still wouldn't be enough profit to do this full time without another job.I see lots of people online who have quit their full time job and are doing Real Estate Investing only, buying new cars, being able to travel and I am wondering if this is just their "online persona", it is because of the amount of properties they have that has given them this financial/work free freedom or I need to find somewhere else that would give me a larger return.Either way I am still moving forward on my journey :) I was just curious because that would be my dream goal to not have a 9-5 and my investments give me that freedom.

Just asking about vague concepts is likely to get no good responses (banks might think you're just dreaming). 

Dream big.

New builds is the dream, always in demand.

Enter the funeral of the American dream.

I’m an real estate investor who is looking  to achieve the success I desire and fulfill my  dreams through house flipping.
