You may look into creating new homes and then selling the properties when the timing is right, or even rent them out. Many people follow this method and rehash the process over and over till they reach their financial goals. Others go about it a different way- such as finding a run down home (or constructing a new one) and then learn the tricks and trades of fixing up a home and finding out where the "pressure points" are that can drive the value of the property up like like firewords on the Fourth of July.
