There is a lot of confusion on what people "say" about real estate investing vs the reality.

You wont scare me off with reality and have been studying REI for about 3 years.

I know the gurus tell you one thing to get your loans but in reality a lot of it is not exactly as they say it is.    

Excellent in making the beginning of your dreams a reality.  

It's reality. 

I've been listening to podcasts, and reading, trying to learn as much about investing in reality to get us towards our ultimate goal of financial freedom. 

A few BP podcasts later and what was still reminiscent of a dream I realize is reality for many.  

One four-plex owner I talked to told me he bought the property based on an estimated return of ~14% but in reality was netting less than 2% once skips, evictions, damage and vacancy costs were included.Another problem I have with all the four-plexes I have seen in Las Vegas is the location and condition of the properties.All the properties I have seen in Las Vegas are located in high crime areas.

Be well my friend and grow your dreams into a reality.

In reality, that sells books, sure!
