Fortunately, we got past it and found other ways to collaborate in real estate. 

Either way, I don't mind if people stay away from this area and leave more of the deals for me :-)But unfortunately (and fortunately), people aren't staying away. 

I've recently attended a free Fortune Builders workshop, which was helpful in gaining some useful information.

I was actively educating myself, I had even attended several seminars in different cities like Fortune Builders, etc.

Fortunately the situation resolved with the tenant breaking the lease in the spring and us happy to see her go.

But as I mentioned a few pages back, you’d be surprised how many younger couples (in their 30’s) already have decent assets, and depending on their fortunes, can put a sizable DP to buy a $2mil+ home.

I have a good network of two investors one with around 10 properties in lower end parts of Philly another with 6 in the Spring Garden area who are happy to help me along.A little about me, I am twenty years old, and while I realize some of you may be thinking where on earth is this kid going to get the capital to purchase a house or even finance one, I am fortunate enough to have started a business that has taken off and I am looking to invest my money!

, but fortunately there are 10 million threads on the internet just like this one, where the consensus is that this is taking it too far, that people will find of their own accord.... kind of like how most religious people aren't full blown celibate priests or monks that take vows of silence, but if you want to go all the way then you know the options (you CAN become a priest or take a vow of silence, if you wish, but for most people this isn't the right fit).

I was fortunate in my specific scenario because I knew the units were renting significantly under value...but even more importantly was that I had still had cash flow coming in from an already established purchase.  

My brother is 51, not 21, and fortunately not belligerent — but same general sense of entitlement.
