🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

My parents are real estate agents but I just got into real estate investing over the past few years.

If you have a rich parent/rich spouse who's willing to sponsor your mistakes, a very high paying job that can sponsor your mistakes, or won the lottery and can afford mistakes, then you don't have to do the last step and keep doing what you think it's the right thing to do. 

Growing up in a household with 6 siblings and parents working hard to survive living in California I became very observant of what others were doing to make money.

Something’s not right there… did anyone else that doesn’t live in Fl that has the lot/s in their parents or families name not changed over to them with some information that also can be done that they didn’t put in the letter?

Parenting 101. 

Hi everyone, I’m interested in purchasing my parent’s next door neighbor’s house.

In which case they would need to live with their parents until they have that money available to buy the house.Good Luck! 

Some programs allow that money to be a gift from a parent, others require that money to have "seasoning" in a bank account of 6 months or longer.That would make the monthly payment $1,936 then you add PMI $100 +/--).

They have been my obsession since I was a small child.
