Forget what the get rich books state.

Are you rich?

Your current business plan may be setting you up for a huge financial challenge, of which you may never recover.As you can tell, this old real estate investor does not buy what is sold in the get rich books.

My name is Rich, near Charleston SC.

I am reading the suggested readings (landlording on autopilot, rich dad poor dad, etc).

Some like more passive income like apartments or triple net etc.With the houses Bryan Hancock on here and also Rich Weese were doing some new builds in Texas so might want to look them up.In overheated markets where people are spec buying hoping for a payoff on the backend the cash flow stream is small.

This time I am learning some basics from material provided and have full feeling that it is not strategy that would make you rich unless you are already rich but this is the area in REI that I know nothing about and I don't mind to learn a little since opportunity arrived.

Hello all,This post is in relation to a blog post I read by Dave Van Horn:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/05/01/equity-rich-cash-poor/I have been thinking a lot about this post as my mom is in a similar predicament.

Hope you are not suggesting that I should just find myself a rich husband and not follow my REI goals.

Hello - My name is Mark Hicks from Blaine, Washington and this is my newbie introduction post.I've been a residential general contractor for the past 15 years and have purchased and sold a few properties since then, but have never pursued REI seriously.Last week I went to a "Free Seminar" by the Rich Dad company, mostly out of curiosity and an unwillingness to go work out in the rain that day.
