I mean I came to college to get the knowledge needed but if school debt is the reason why I can’t succeed in this field was it worth it?

@Rose Davis It is good to see other beginners starting out in the Quad Cities and succeeding.  

Now some of those 2nd generation children are at an advanced age and passing away so ownership is passing to the third generation grandchildren, resulting in smaller and smaller ownership stakes for each succeeding generation as it gets split between more people.One of the 2nd generation owners with a 5% ownership stake recently passed away, leaving 1.67% ownership to each of his three children (the 3rd generation). 

But the things you have to learn in order to succeed with turnkeys are the exact fundamentals every investor should have no matter what kind of investing they are doing-- running numbers, market analysis, learning what makes a property a good investment, and most importantly due diligence.

Are we really here to discourage the people who are taking bold action and/or going after their dreams because we project our own fears on them or because we don't want to see them succeed because deep inside of ourselves, we want to invest internationally but don't dare doing and so the last thing we want is to see other people successfully doing it.I see repeated negative posts from the same people (not those who replied here thus far) from people in the international forum and I'm left wondering why they're hanging in the international forum if they're negative about international investing.By the way, even though I totally disagree with him on this matter, I have to command @John Carbone for writing in all honesty "I haven't researched ...

He started in the business to provide extra funds to his church.Point is he started at a later in life succeeded fairly quickly and had honest motive to fuel his success.

You have to want it as bad as you want to breathe otherwise you will not succeed at this. 

To succeed in real estate you need time, knowledge, money/credit.  

Just remember if this one doesn't succeed, dont stop there... there are people who would be willing and if not, there are other ways.

Is it a possible avenue that I need to defend or are they liable to succeed with this action against me?
