My predicament comes from the situation of living in one of if not the most overpriced real estate markets in the world right now.My goal in joining this forum and building relationships with the people on this site is to navigate this difficult real estate market in order to advance my financial situation to better the life of my family.I understand allot to starting in this game is taking action and not sitting back on the fence but I find myself in an area that doesn't allow for an ideal return on equity as far as real estate investing for flipping/renting for positive cashflow.I look forward to having productive conversations with the fine people here on biggerpockets forum in hopes of helping other people succeed while succeeding myself in the ever changing world of real estate.Cheers,Matt Bouwman
