Hi everyone,Quick introduction, I'm a young(ish) doctor from Los Angeles and first got turned onto real estate after reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" like seemingly everyone else here.

Thanks Rich for the link.Since I think I'm going to likely have to end up burying the pipe under the patio and garage concrete , what would you expect to pay a plumber for something like this?

Rich

I see many guru's marketing it similarly to a get rich (relatively) quick scheme, but I realize that it will take loads of hard work and effort.

Thank's Rich B.

I just spoke to a commercial broker who said that many sellers seem to think a buyer will show up with all cash (Mainers often think a rich fool from Mass will show up with cash and overpay - I'd like to find this mythological creature).

And those mostly are not qualified, and are also deciding to rent rather than buy.It used to be thought that home ownership was an investment that might not make you rich, but couldn't fail to increase in value.

I am from Colorado and am looking at the Denver area as my first market but would be very open to suggestions from others as to a good market for someone who is cash rich.

Here are a few real estate books I have found great value in.Guide to investing by Robert Kiyosaki,Emerging real estate markets by David Lindahl, the one you mentioned,Think and grow rich, Napoleon Hill,The millionaire next door by Thomas Stanley,I welcome the opportunity to pick up a book and learn everything I can to enrich my knowledge..Now for your questions, this is what I have come up with so far,1. my time line, will that mean how long I will hold the property?

I used to order all these get rich, self help garbage books and I'm about saving, saving and getting that free info.
