I am interested in real estate wholesaling as a vehicle to earn back the lifestyle I built for my family.

Also, the Germans use use Mercedes as one of the primary choices for Taxi's probably because they are able to purchase them at better rates given that Mercedes are domestic vehicles.

Since I have gotten into RE and doing pretty good with it I find myself looking at all my toys ( boats, extra vehicles, 4 wheelers, gun collection, etc ) thinking to myself I should sell all of it and invest into more properties. am I the only one?

I think you need to take a step back and see why you would need to purchase a new vehicle that you would need to consider borrowing to begin with especially if you are so financially savy.

I'd like to set up some type of investment vehicle whereby they would invest, and share the profits, minus a 20-25% management fee I would take off the top.

@Mike Thomas  most syndication deals are accredited only as well.. there are vehicles to allow up to 35 unaccredited.. at least in the state of Oregon..

Real estate has been a good investment vehicle since the beginning of time and will continue to be until the end of time regardless who is in charge. 

When I saw that my money doubled in 7 years, it prompted me to look into real estate investing as a vehicle to fund my retirement.

Text is not an appropriate vehicle should it go to court so if you text notice, then also email it/mail it or post a notice on the door. 

They can't add value to their holdings through any effort of their own.One can invest in real estate and achieve "diversification" through the public markets using multiple vehicles - most prominently through Real Estate Investment Trusts, or REITS.
