Man this is perfect! You answered my question that I asked in the last Samuel Leeds video :-)
It is risky for sure but as he says if a person is willing to put in hardwork, they can be sure find success sooner or later. It is clear that real estate is a multifaceted business. You have to deal with legal aspects of things (both real estate and financial), then the banks and finally the people. As he says - one has to be willing to work hard and over a period of time the benefits can be reaped.
Buying and renting is another way to go. Rental income can be a totally separate stream......... nice!
