Ha,

I was about to come down pretty hard on you until I saw that you mentioned that the wealth that is created from real estate comes primarily from the business side. This is very true. I run a real estate investment club in san antonio texas http://www.reiosa.com and this is what people seem to miss over and over again. There is a giant misconception that one can just buy a property or several properties and get rich. There is much more to it than that. There is an entire business side to real estate investing that most people won’t or don’t care to acknowledge.

Appreciation is never a guarantee–especially at a rate greater than inflation. In order to make money and create wealth, one has to find ways to identify and create value.

Nice work
