It alleviates concerns over market competition and we can focus more on the similarities and differences of our business models, systems and strategies rather than discussions around specific markets, prices, climates, cultures, etc.We have 3 members so far.

Just curious, has anyone in their life ever seen or read a respected news source that featured or interviewed a wealthy person who said that the way they made their money was they bought a real estate course from a guru?

I'm with @Brent Coombs.I love the idea of leveraging the BRRRR strategy in order to generate wealth. I

You found that research exceeded the downfall of being from a different culture?

@Shawn Ackerman I guess I should have clarified, that institutional and very wealthy investors are ok with 3% returns.  

Born in the Philippines Island, grew up in Hawaii, and now living in the San Antonio, TX area which I claimed as the 10th Island - since it's very expensive to live in Hawaii where $719,000 is median home, I decided to bring the Hawaii culture here in SATX where $175K is the median home price.I became an accident landlord when a townhouse I cosigned when I was only 25-years old was about to foreclose on by American Savings Bank in Hawaii. 

All wealthy people live below their means (spend less than you make), Those that don't do not remain wealthy long.

The reason for investing in real estate is to enjoy life a little more and working 80 hours/week will make you wealthy quicker, but will also make you gray quicker.I have a full time job and a side business giving tours (admittedly not as time consuming as your side-gig as a realtor) and I have to be sure to set aside time for my lady.

Jordan's first option, wholesaling, is not viable in most Canadian markets due to a variety of factors (size of market, very low {compared to the U.S.A.} delinquency rates, cultural differences w/r to selling houses, etc.}, but could work if you are close enough to The Big Smoke.  

The truth is that investing in real estate is easy, accessible to the majority of the population, and will make you extremely wealthy over time.1.
