I started working in a bank and I started to notice how common characteristics wealthy people have when it comes to managing their money.

@Terrell Brown , the east side of the metro area is actually the wealthy and educated part of town.

When I'm not bopping' around the inter web looking for property number *two*, I am discoursing long and hard on all things theological, philosophical, political, cultural, economical, whimsical, ecumenical, and everything else I know very little about.

One of the sharpest investors I know has an eighth grade education, he has old methods, but they are tried and proven and have made him rather wealthy, don't under estimate them either, lol!

- is he/she wealthy enough to be a private lender to you?

You have the right idea with your goals.Most people start off wholesaling (because we need cash and we are broke), however the true path to wealth is buying and holding.

Using that to your advantage to build wealth is a great idea!

Wholesaling was what I was thinking could be the beginning stages as a way to build a portfolio and wealth I could use to do flips and buy and hold using BRRR.

Now I live in the DC area and maybe its the culture, but thousands of people wake up and declare themselves investors.

I'm business minded and have made a few of my employers pretty wealthy.
