But that's the exception, not the rule, and there are always ways to make deals sound sweeter than they actually are when you tell your money stories to listeners with stars in their eyes and money in their fists.So yeah, on any given day of the week I would certainly take $60K to the corner convenience store and buy the big scratch-off lottery tickets, rather than bring that money to REI and with a clear head try to go after anything that I would call a sane way to triple it within a year.And I will speak out against a corrosive, debilitating get-rich-quick mindset in real estate investing where I see it being promoted, a mindset that breaks so many people who could other be put on any number of quite reasonable long-term paths to amassing real and lasting wealth.

I have no website that I advertise in my signature, no business that I promote in my profile.

Also, on a sidenote, @Larry Fried is not a neutral party, but a shill/promoter for the site that he linked to.

That said, there are many ways you can use real estate to accelerate your business.Consider the following real estate business strategies:- Buy-and-hold: Use your own money to build a cash flowing portfolio- Fix-and-flip: Use your own money to buy, fix, and sell assets- Wholesaling: Find assets, put them under contract, and sell/assign the right to buy while you keep the spread between the contract and sale prices- Brokerage: Connect buyers and sellers and make a commission on the sale- Investment management: Use your experience to arrange deals and manage them for passive investors - you make money on fees and sweat equity (carried interest or promote)This is a high-level selection of strategies.

They eschew self-promoting speakers, and instead have speakers that can actually help - such as a city alderman, a CPA with REI knowledge, etc.

Robert Kiyosaki promotes good debt.

I’ve heard this for years myself, but if this thread takes off it will be with some sort of credit card stacking scheme:(One guy I meet was pitching a sales pitch at a RE meetup and was promoting something more than credit card schemes, but he wanted 25k plus to help get you started.Hopefully someone will come on your thread offering more than credit cards with intro teaser rates.

So when I see you promoting this kind of stuff I wonder what is going on with you.

Its hard looking ahead because the market may shift, but aside from it not being able to capture discounts, promotions and blocked days very well I find it to be pretty accurate. 

The folks at Fair Housing are aware of issues due to hoarding such as health and safety - the housekeeping addendum is intended to "promote" health and safety for all residents within any building.
