I want a slow, methodical way of building wealth and not one that can go up and down 20% in a single day.Currently working full-time as an accountant, but my goal is to most definitely be a full-time real estate investor some day.So far I really enjoy the business of real estate and everything that comes with it.

I've really wanted an answer as to whether real estate is a get rich slow endeavor, and after watching Brandon's video on How to Quickly Analyze a Property Deal it seems to be the casehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?

And, you don't have time for the idiot to be born who would pay you 100% on a newly created note, on a business, with slow credit and weak income regardless of how well the NNN was paying.You aren't really the lender, you're originating the note, anyone who funds at the table or is to purchase a new note that is not seasoned will be considered the "lender", they might as well provide the loan. 

It talks about a slow, depressed market...and they're from CA.  

I underestimated how slow hawaii contractors are to respond!

The market in upstate is slowing down a bit for retail, but investor sentiment remains strong.  

So far, I am content in taking it slow, soaking up as much as I can here so I don't make too many mistakes along the way. 

So, I am making money each month, just not in my checking account.In past 4 years, the house has appreciated nicely here in SoCal but now the appreciation seems to be slowing.

You just are listing different deposits and expenses that make up that bank statement, but assigning them to various sub accounts, various LLC's.When you reconcile your bank account, do it as normal reconciliation  in QuickBooks and choose the deposits and withdrawals that match each other. 

Not impossible by any means, but not ideal, and the feeling of indebtedness would slow me down or limit my demands to see houses.
