@Tad Fisher, I can point to plenty of people with vast sums of equity in my database.

Real estate is a vast industry – look around – it is everywhere – giant commercial buildings in every town – leasing – land development – tax deferred exchanges – syndication – partnerships – and much more.

Do I have a attitude, you bet, can't collect from them when they default and 80% will be a problem guaranteed.The vast majority on welfare of any type in Ontario are scammers stealing tax dollars and all believe they deserve every cent they receive.

This map is a bit outdated:  http://www.akc.org/akc-dog-lovers/bsl-popularity-on-decline-nationwide/If you want to change any laws on HOAs it always takes a vast majority (in my primary residency case it is 75% and in my rental place it is 61%). 

@adam i have actually spent alot of time reading and learning about the ordinance, both on your forum and the vast amount of other resources that are readily available to anyone who cares enough to spend more than 30 seconds looking.

The vast majority are owned by large corporations and won't talk to you even if you do manage to find a name and phone number.

A vast majority of my acquisitions come from a combination of private investor funds and my own capital. 

Maggie Jones It is true that your market is vastly different than ours.

But for the average Joe, we aren’t set to inherit tons of money from our family, we tried the stock market but we’ve ended up with average 7-8% returns, maybe some of us have great ideas, but we don’t have the connections and/or the network to adequately fund our business ventures.Raising money to purchase a home is relatively easy for the vast majority of people and in some cases can be shockingly affordable.

This is how we found a vast majority of people we now work with.
