Real Estate Investing - You Don't Have To Be Rich To Get Started...
What do the majority of wealthy Americans have in common?
They own investment property...
You don't have to be rich to get started investing in real estate - but unless you do get started, you probably won't ever be rich.
There will never be a better time to invest in real estate than now! - Most people make the mistake of waiting for someday/maybe buy investment property - I I believe that this is a BIG mistake!
If you are currently renting - I recommend that you start by purchasing your own home first. Buy a duplex or triplex, or at least a house with extra room that you can rent out. This will allow you to begin building equity (that you can use to purchase more rental property with) while your renters pay down your mortgage for you. ;-)
This is the essence of investing in real estate - having renters pay your mortgage while you grow your equity!
(I model the "Rich Dad" philosophy for building wealth)
Once you have a little equity (in your home)the next step will be to buy investment property - either in your home town (if you want to manage it yourself) or in another appreciating market - that has onsite management.
There are advantages to both of these.
I own both Minnesota Investment Property as well as Florida Investment Property and although my Florida properties have onsite management, I choose to manage the residential rental property myself.

What is Being Wealthly?
What is the difference between rich and wealthy? The difference could be described as either working for a living or making your money work for you.
In other words, when you are wealthy, your money works for you - and owning real estate investment property is an example of this. Good investment property (in a good area and property managed) makes money work for you by providing a cash-flow, appreciation, and tax benefits.
By consistently purchasing income properties, and positioning yourself wisely - you will eventually have enough income that you won't have to work an 8 to 5 job. To me this is being wealthy.
Achieving financial wealth through real estate investments is long term, and can be risky if you don’t do your homework.
You can save yourself a great deal of time, money, and frustration when investing, by following the steps laid out in "The Investor's Rental Guide" - now available at my website: www.GreatInvestmentProperty.com
