<prompt> Human: By wealthy, I mean worth from tens to hundreds of millions. Just how does a normal person, with normal income and savings become rich on real estate? I know that it is in the most basic form buying and selling, or rather, lending and selling, but at what point does your Average Joe go from a couple of thousands in profits, to hundreds of thousands? Especially in this day and age. Hit jackpot on commercial real estate? Slowly build a portfolio of smaller houses and apartments? Scrap together investors?In my areaNorway you read all the time about investors that buy out some foreclosed block, industrial buildings, etc. on a huge discount, and then flip it over for a nice profit. But obviously out of reach for the Average guy, since he cant just whip out a xx million check. Whats the secret here?  <response>: Average people by definition dont become wealthy.
