The green houses are a good start, but it's the buildings that make you wealthy, and your children wealthy.

The funny part about that, is the previous evening I had sent an email to a local wealthy individual asking to be my mentor.

Few wealthy farmers. 

I wasn't one of the umpteen posters with no money, no income, and wants to be independently wealthy that you see on here almost every day.

I really enjoy listening to the podcasts and have listened to all of the 141 episodes during my daily commutes.I was mostly inspired by the “Weekend Millionaire” series by Mike Summey and Roger Dawson, and truly believe wealth is an income stream and real estate investing is a getting rich slowly game.  

There are also people who make money buying basically zero risk properties in super wealthy areas.

Over the long haul, you will be much more wealthy with this road, then paying cash as you go.

BBQ, jazz, culture, friendly faces?? 

My wealth is growing by 25% per year because Im leveraging, instead of buying all cash; but even then Id imagine the number might be close to 16% on these properties (of course you also have an inflation factor of 1%-3% too on top of that).

BUT, like mentioned in a recent podcast, you don't become wealthy on cash flow.
