That said, if you can find a value add play and then increase the NOI after purchase, you may be able to add a few points to your purchase cap but getting anywhere close to 10 would remain a dream in this market.

I’m willing to do whatever it takes to start my dreams of investing..

Move, Buy your dream house (on Vancouver Island- Nanaimo) for ~$1.5M ocean front and with a detached mortgage helper and continue working.  

As for me, just getting focused on abandoning the Corporate America dream after just over 15 years, while dabbling in real estate on the side.  

The goal is to be able to save up enough to begin investing, but I don't even qualify for a loan for the amount that properties here cost.I went through the BP Beginner's guide, but it's really hard to apply anything to my own situation when the properties he's looking at are $32k.Is real estate investing just a pipe dream for me?

I am in contract to purchase my “dream home” .

The guy on the podcast said if your dream is get into commercial multifamily then dont bother starting small, just jump right into commercial multifamily... welll uhhh i don't know how to do that.

The dream would be to create a real estate company with systems and processes in place so that I could manage it while traveling the world with my brother and sister. 

We desperatley need a a bigger place, but instead of trying to find our dream house, I'm thinking about finding something simple that is also accomodating to our needs that needs a little work.

I am very interested in real-estate because it is an income producing investment meaning I have the freedom to work or pursue personal goals and dreams.
