20 years ago.Real Estate is a get rich slowly game so you have to get started and be patient.Real Estate makes money in 3 ways, cash flow, appreciation and mortgage paydown. 

Hello @ Rich P.and thank you @Chris M. for the mention. 

I have opened up so many newer options, those comments are no longer relevant as I've been buying 4-5 properties/year and Brrrr them and either incorporating them into my portfolio using LLC which then don't count against my 10 traditional mortgages, or selling them off. 

I read rich dad poor dad when i was 17 and probably about 10 times since then.

I've heard some people say you could got a traditional mortgage to start off, but I've also heard that people are shying away from this method (traditional mortgages are dead?).

I first got started in a network marketing business (still am) and that lead me to Rich Dad Poor Dad book (that my dad had recommend a year earlier and I blew off).

Hello I'm hoping to learn how you are finding cash poor, time rich property sourcers that can source property for you to invest in?

My name is Andy Taylor (don't say it) and I am a new wanna-be investor from the Houston area (Magnolia, actually, which is 40 or so miles north of Houston proper).I stumbled onto BiggerPockets.com after a late-night Half-Price Books run that saw me come home with an armload of discounted Rich Dad books while on a recent out-of-town trip.

I was wondering, as an 18 year old from New York, if I started investing in real estate now and working extremely hard, do I have chances of becoming rich and/or financially independent?
