Thanks for sharing and keep building your empire.

Building up a real estate empire is a fantastic idea in theory, but in practice unless you're incredibly lucky, you'll be better off putting it in some sort of truly passive investment, like Redfin stock.I believe MOST people here do not realize how problematic real estate investing can be, the degree to which luck plays, how little is truly within one's control, and how inefficient and illiquid the real estate market is. 

That's as complicated as it has to be for me, as I'm not trying to be some kind of mogul and build an empire and I have clients who need deals and want to grow their businesses. 

you should bottle that and go market to market and build an empire of PM nessI have four more years before the kids graduate.

Trump will be filing one for his real estate empire as well.

@Russell Brazil I am 75 so no empire building.

Think of it this way, suppose you started out and you build a small RE Empire which winds up being worth a $1 Million.Then, for no fault of your own, you got into a Car Accident and are no longer able to go through towards your Goal of $100 Million.Life happened, but you did your VERY BEST.

My recommendations are "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Turner, "Build a Rental Property Empire" by Mark Ferguson and "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. 

If history has taught me anything, it is that an individual person from even the most humble and unfortunate circumstances can forge their own path and accomplish incredible things that defy the odds - whether that is wealth generation, empire building or just making people enjoy their lives more.

@Edgar EhrsamNapsolutely no it’s not worth it, unless you feel like hanging out with extraordinary amounts of people that want to waist a lot of their most important years!
