@Rhondalette W.I like First American Home buyers for a home warranty company. 

You need to work both ends against the middle.Strive for above average earnings and a large savings/investment rate.Scrimping while earning 50,000 is not going to produce life changing results.making 150,000 and living a nice american lifestyle can allow you to save or invest 30,000/year.

Everyone has something to offer, and even though we don't talk about it like that, money is what busy professionals have to offer.There is a tendency in the REI community to want to be DIY about everything, and I think it's also an American ideal of self-made entrepreneurs.

It might behoove us to remember that the worst mass shooting on American soil was executed by none other than a real estate investor.Maybe people who put money in real estate are not so special after all.

@ dariusogloza that’s great to hear that your dad came here to pursue the American dream and did it.

Not sure if my screening would have made a difference with this couple getting a divorce and her choice of new boyfriend, but I didn’t screen and I blame myself 100%...even though they seemed like the all American family when I met and interviewed them.

That will affect household income for nearly every American family.

That may actually be a plus for real estate as there is no appetite  amongst Americans for serious shut downs of the economy.

As a society we are somewhat bound to steel, concrete and wood.

That's crazy. 70% Americans don't have $1,000 in cash for an emergency.The average household is $17,000 in debt.
