Hello Everyone,I've been fascinated with the real estate industry for over 35 years but always cautious  and afraid of getting in over my head.  

I, too find this part of the financial world fascinating! 

For those that are fascinated with studying topics like this like I am here is a good read:10 Secrets of the Capitalist Class, or the "1 Percent"Josh Kennon has a lot of great material on this in general.  

Your story is fascinating, I'm sure I'll learn a lot from your presence here and will watch your show shortly. 

holy sh*t (obviously you're talking DIY, but still...)I've been fascinated by concrete for a long while but haven't had an opportunity to experiment with it.

Im fascinated with real estate investing and currently in the learning phase.

Hi All,This is my first post, so hopefully I have this in the right spot in the forums, but I have always been fascinated in real estate, especially in buy and hold and house flipping.  

Since first time home buyers are notorious for overlooking many basic costs of home ownership, often focusing exclusively on accumulating a down payment and then making monthly payments that include property taxes and insurance, I was fascinated to read that buyers in their 20s and 30s are becoming quite savvy as they consider renting vs buying their home.

@Eric Renney I do not have an answer to this at all but I am fascinated by it.  

We are even considering taking a real estate class or something similar to speed up our learning curve.Im actually flirting with the idea of a new career with more potential for our future, something that we could carry on/for our retirement.I've been always fascinated about real estate, but my only experience so far, was buying the house that we are actually living (for the last 8 years with 1bed 1 bath) that is still upside down (and yes, we are still traumatized, lol lol lol).Many plans for our future (including kids) but not really knowing how to start with our 9-5's, but learning before anything else sounds like a good start (at least for me).Great site guys and thank you once again for all this compiled information for my thirst mind : )
