Investors are easy targets and scapegoats for failed lending policy perpetuated by the government!

Rich Rich, I think you are bound by stereotypes.

I agree.Yes, I agree that some of the perpetual adders are a waste of time.There truly is a fine line with coming on too strong and being just downright rude.I sell commercial real estate and, if I have a property in a particular area of interest that I see an investor is looking in, I will submit a friend request; however, I will state my intent in the request.If I've been one of those that "annoy" as explained in this post, I am truly sorry.For those of you that I've had the distinct pleasure of working with over the year, I thank you for your patience :roll:

I am curious how guys and gals that want to have a long career with real estate investing can perpetuate their capital.

Stop the industry from perpetuating the problem.Where'd this soap box come from?

Always great to see an inspirational story...especially for those of us who are perpetually on the cusp of trying to make it happen ourselves ;) Thanks for the kick in the pants!

I've been reading for a while and am fascinated at how some people have the cash on hand to buy:-Properties out right with cash-Multiple properties with 20% down paymentYes I understand there's many ways to finance but these seem to be the most common for starter investors.Yes I also understand its sort of like a self perpetuating process that builds on itself but that takes so much time and I see so many young people in the game.My question is how did you pay for your first few properties and what do you do for a living to support that?

We want payment and terms so we can make money today and in perpetuity.

The only time I've ever seen something like this where no changes are allowed after the sale is when there is an easement on the recorded title of the property, which could be perpetual based on the type, such as a conservation easement. 

Portlandia people are funny when they live up to stereotypes
