@Elbert Dockery one of many ways to build wealth. I

Many folks do not become wealthy because they invest in real estate, in fact, probably most of the landlords that I've met that are not on BiggerPockets are very wealthy because they worked hard in their careers and invested in real estate on the side for years.

It has made people very wealthy, and also made people broke. 

Becoming financially stable or independently wealthy is usually about creating different streams of income.

Buy and hold is slow at first but once the snowball starts rolling it's only a matter of time before you're wealthy.

He said that something like 68% of wealthy people do cardio 4x a week 26% of poor people do. 90% of wealthy people read 30 minutes  a day. 2% of poor people do. 

It is a wealthy state, but people don't make double of what you make in a place like  Dallas.  

Another thing is that many high income and wealthy people actually benefit from rent control too.

For me it's what you can do with the wealth, I love what I do and am able to do a lot for other people.

The amount of wealth I can create from compounding the cash flow for ten years will far outweigh what 1 property might rise in value.
