That didn't leave me feeling any better about my situation.To explain my situation: I had to quit my job at a food manufacturing plant (which I hated) due to my stepdad getting sick and my parents needing a caretaker.

I just wanted to share that though it may not seem like much at first, I have actually gone through quite a few forum posts (not nearly enough though), read J Scott's book on Flipping Houses and skimmed the Estimating Costs book, have listened to quite a few of the Bigger Pockets Podcasts while at work (still have more to go), skimmed through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Investing, re-read Rich Dad Poor Dad, read The E Myth Revisited, found a local REIA Meet up to attend (and will be going to my first meeting this week) and almost purchased the books required to start studying for my license (I'm still planning on this).   

I wish you luck in your path to riches

Lots of retirees happening, many owning there homes 20+ yrs, equity rich.

I've only been there once but had a great time-fantastic music, great food.

Everyone has their strengths and niches, and when all the pieces work together, THAT'S when you become rich.

Initially I was very sceptical that wholesaling was another get rich quick scheme.

The big boys say it is a "get rich slow" thing, it really is.
