Something that’s been on my mind recently is the natural urge of real estate investors to keep pushing to do bigger and bigger deals. It’s a tale as old as time; a new investor gets their first real taste of money, maybe their net worth has turned to seven figures, and they’re seeking something more and still see themselves as young and hungry.
