Many, I dare say most, of the millionaires in America, have achieved their wealth through owning rental real estate. However, you never see them on TV. Why is that? Because owning rental real estate is not sexy or exciting. That wasn’t a typo.

Turn on HGTV or any number of those shows and you’ll see people flipping homes and selling for much higher than their purchase price. They don’t show most of the details and it leads the tv audience to believe that it is just that simple.
