I have not begun to invest in real estate yet, but have been learning how to analyze some of the deals that I am constantly searching for.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right, I think one of the issues in your perspective might be that you're treating property investing as a substitute for work or other standardised income streams - I think it's more realistic to think of it as either a savings scenario, where you try to get the best return rates possible at the minimum possible risk, or alternatively, as supplementary income to an existing stream.Living off your investments completely normally means you either have a very large and lucrative portfolio (which, indeed, takes years to build), or that you've somehow turned it into a full time business, such as being a realtor, buyers agent, fixer/flipper, builder/developer etc - but that's a whole different yarn that should be correctly titled "running a realty related business" as opposed to "investing in real estate".Again, if any of my assumptions are wrong, please correct me.

I've been a lurker on and off for about two years now and I'm constantly impressed by the discussions and advice to be found on this site.

I'm going to try and be more active here, as well as start a blog about what I'm doing in Vegas as I constantly have people asking me to show them what I do.

Like I said I'm totally new to wholesaling, but don't want to pass up another income stream that I could be taking advantage of.

I think the key is stay positive, stay dedicated, and constantly educate yourself to stay ahead of the curve.

I have to constantly interact with people who don't hesitate to pull a gun BUT the payoff is huge.

I had read it a few times and really liked the idea after my last problem tenant was constantly asking for "exceptions" to things because she knew I had the power to make the decision.

On the contrary, keeping a 5% mortgage and investing at 10%, less taxes for a net of 8%, you have an income stream of 3% clear.
