Kewp undortunately you missed my point entirely. Not only did I not have any intent to imply real estate investment, I don’t believe I mentioned it at all in my post. The people I know all made money by varying means from taking risks and opening businesses, forming investment syndicates, purchasing mobile home parks, starting private practices, tax lien investments, selling freeking hot dogs are fairs, all kinds of stuff. Some of these people did it on their own, some did it with investors, some took out equity to do it, most all of them didn’t pump a 30-40% downpayment into the home they live in. All of them took risk. Some failed, many did not. I am quite envious of all of them for taking the risk.
I guess I should have spelled it out more clearly.
Show me where I said anything about real estate. Sorry you didn’t really get what I was trying to say.
