This niche is very foreign to the investors here for a multitude of reason - class, race, socio-economic familiarity, culturally, etc.And I don't think they are necessarily wrong for that!!

I have also heard the quickest way is to be a multimillionaire and then own a race team. 

You'll need only 3% down, and if the renovation completes before the close out inspections, you will recoup your down payment in rent without payments. (203k allows you to finance the first six months of payments). 12k and you're off to the races!

@Frank RobinsonI like this line “duck out the rat race permanently”.

@Sam Grooms Always good to see other CPAs that got out of the rat race and made success in real estate.

But I won't let one setback knock me off the horse..

I believe if you invest the next two years learning and building something that you could be off to the races by the time you are 18. 

That my friend, is how the world works.The politicians favorite race is the one where they go unopposed.But I keep faith.

I think I can sum this up.. you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink.. 

There is a lot of putting the cart before the horse from that perspective from what I see on the forums.
