Just joined the BP site and wanted to put my 2 cents in. I started like most immigrants. You come to America the land of opportunity. You work and make money. You save and work more and make a little money. You save some more and then you start thinking is that all there is to life. 

I always wanted to invest and do something on my own since I finished college back in India but you get a job and rat race starts. 

Well happy to say that I started investing seriously and with 18 months accumulated about 14 properties. Rest is history as they say. At 40 I was able to walk away from my job. 

It's was big milestone for me because it gave me the freedom to build my own real estate business. I mostly invest in Single Family properties. The goal is get them all paid off before I am 46. At this point I at 53 properties. The goal is 125. 

Just a few short years ago I would never though this was possible.
