Building our own house increased our net worth rapidly and has allowed us to begin making investments in real estate.

But I doubt that will be the case in 5 years time, with the the rapid pace of growth that is occurring in those areas. 

Hundreds possibly thousands that could be used to grow your investment savings at a rapid pace.The majority of people live paycheck to paycheck by choice.

I would imagine in a rapidly appreciating market that rental prices may have also been rising to  a bubble.

You might find my webinar and case studies valuable as I discuss the "evolution" of my investing from newbie to today. 

I have to say that the experience has been positive so far, with a few negative items such as the evolution of home prices and how expensive has become living on this state.At some point during this period I had a complicated health issue and I ended up getting into a lot of debt to pay for my medical bills.

As we continue to grow at such a rapid rate, our barriers of entry are still significantly lower than the Dallas market.

I'm trying to learn the smart way to grow my company rapidly, and avoid unnecessary taxation along the way.

From the podcasts, I understand that values won’t increase rapidly and I’m OK with that as I want to buy and hold and pass them on to my children.
