Real estate prices rebounded, the principal made a fortune.  

I keep hearing that most or a majority of the wealthiest people have built their fortunes through real estate and that the Forbes 400 is comprised of a majority of RE investors and developers.  

I was fortunate to get this from my JV who is also a good sounding board - I get explanations that I can compare to those that I've look upon with good content.My JV agreement allows me to buy, if I wish based on what I'm looking for so I'm not forced into anything I don't find appealing.

Some communities were able to repurpose the base property, and others were not as fortunate.  

Look forward to meeting you and best of fortune on your current deal!

We were very fortunate that the exchange rate worked in our favor upon resale, so we got equity build up and currency advantages.  

If you are looking to get into a small MFH of 4 units or less, you may be fortunate enough to qualify for an FHA loan which only requires 3.5% down (plus closing costs - this will also add PMI which for my purchase of 162k on a SFH was $121 per month). 

I never realized the opportunity that I had stumbled into but I'm in a fortunate spot to really reap the rewards from it now.With that said, I'm going to have to relocate out of state and I'm looking for some advice on whether I should sell for a sizable profit in this crazy market or keep my condo and rent it out as it can cash flow with the current rent prices in the area.

I am fortunate enough to not have any bills.
