Grant Cardone did not become wealthy through real estate.

If you are familiar with the cash flow quadrant, I believe that everyone that wants to be wealthy must at some point take the plunge to moving from the left to the right side of the quadrant, I just don't think it is smart to do it at such as young age before you have developed a significant amount of capital and knowledge.

Do they advertise somewhere or is it a "private" thing that the more wealthy investors become on the DL?

@Jamie Nacht I am in real estate to become wealthy.

Nor should you want to own something that doesn't make any money unless you're a super-wealthy philanthropist. 

A properly set up portfolio of real estate holdings will smoke the pants off equities. http://simplepassivecashflow.com/returns/I'm pretty sure real estate has made a lot more mega-wealthy people than stocks.

Most wealth is created by real estate if you look at history.

Wealthy and prudent investors are building up their reserves for when the market takes its turn.  

The properties that have North American standards are traded and rented (oftentimes short term) in USD and that is the market for foreigners and wealthy Mexicans.Then, you have the property for locals, traded and rented in MXN (pesos).

I don't want to resort to my family, and instead show them that i can become wealthy without their money.
