On the other hand, real estate fortunes are made by wisely leveraging.

Hey @Mindy Jensen fortunately for me my wife is a RE agent and is guiding me!

If you are fortunate and can find and purchase a house in the short time given, do you have money and time and skills to pull off a renovation?

Hi everyone;I feel so fortunate to having finally joined this amazing community of real estate investors.

Fortunately I intimidated management which allowing me to function without interference for most of my last 15 years.

Many investors aren't fortunate enough to have a sum of money to start with.  

I have recently attended a fortune builders conference and have been told that their Mastery Program offers support programs which start at $30,000 for the lowest and the highest is a whopping $49,997 for their most supportive program.

Fortunately, it sounds like you are at least figuring out how to properly assess your situation.

You're fortunate to have someone close to learn from.

Fortunately I have enough equity built up in my condo that I believe I'm in a position to start investing if I look in more affordable areas.I'll probably need to look for properties out of state, so I'd appreciate any recommendations of areas to check out, or any advice in general on the topic.Also, I'm hoping to be able to grow as quickly as I can manage, I don't want to just acquire a single property and then have to wait years to save up for a second.
