Rich

It generally takes him and a helper about 4 hours to do the work so while he's not getting rich he's making some money on the job.

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad several months ago, I reevaluated my philosophy on investment and retirement planning... and life in general (which may have had something to do with turning 30 as well).

I've figured out that I do not want to be rich.

Thanks Gary, I actually lived in Chicago for a little over a year while finishing my LLM program and I still love the city even if the real estate prices made my chest hurt.I've definitely enjoyed the site so far, and I like the focus on realistic long term planning as opposed to a lot of "get rich quick" schemes and pitches.

Few make it overnight, RE is a get rich slowly business really, but you can gain a decent living quickly.

If one person discourages your method, chances are, someone else, somewhere is probably getting rich doing it.

I mean, didn't Rich Weese "publicly", on this forum somewhere, state he acquired his 1,000th rental?

Maybe that's looking at properties, researching comps, working with contractors or actually doing some of the work.Real estate is often thought of as a way to quick riches.
