It takes a long time to get rid of that mentality, even after years of getting a degree and then a crappy job.I think the government plays a huge role in this bubble with their "cheap" loans.  

Thus, there is a herd mentality of driving prices to levels that don't make sense.

Investing in multi-units is what im mentally invested in but Im open minded to all investment types of strategies. 

I want to apply this same kind of drive and mentality to real estate investing, as I wish to retire by 35 (or have the ability to).
