How I Went From Milking Goats
To
Real Estate Riches!
In many ways I've come a long way from the small
northern California farm where I grew up in a doublewide trailer surrounded by old Quonset
Huts that served as rentals. In other respects, it's as if I've never left.
Farm life teaches you a lot of values that are lacking in today's society. It has a
way of keeping you grounded, no matter how successful you become. Our family raised cows,
pigs, goats, chickens, and many others and everyone had to learn many skills on the farm
since very few things that needed doing were hired out. At a young age, farm life taught
me many innovative ways to complete any task; and that part of farming had a lot of
similarities to the skills I’ve learned as a real estate investor.
My real estate investing started while I was an Air Traffic Controller in the Marine
Corps. It was the early 1990’s and I studied all the books, tapes, and courses could
find. I even became a Realtor while I was a Marine but it was only after being honorably
discharged and moving to a small timber town in Oregon that I really start investing.
Paolla, my wife of 12 years, and I opened a franchise real estate office and we acquired a
lot of rentals over the years. We did everything ourselves from rehab to property
management and after a few years we were equity rich and cash poor. You know, we had money
on paper, but not a lot in the bank! Tired of small town living we sold everything and
ended up moving to Phoenix, Arizona to start over.
We studied everything we could on real estate and with our newfound knowledge things
really started to happen. In December of 2002 we had our first month where we earned over
$105,000 cash from three little houses. Now, for a kid that grew up milking goats $105,000
in quick profit in one month was a lot of money!
HEADLINE
As much as I enjoy making money in real estate, I get a bigger rush from helping others
make money! It might sound corny, but when you help someone get there first 5K, 10K, or
30K check a certain feeling comes over you like a proud parent and you know their life
will never be the same. Once you taste that kind of success it’s hard to go back to a
job and earn peanuts. I live for that feeling and the adrenaline rush that comes with it!
You Can Make Money Or You Can Make Excuses!
The truth is most of the real estate deals I do are with less than $100 of my own money
and I don’t use my credit or banks. That’s right; I make well over 6 figures a
year without writing big checks or taking a big risk. The key to making big profits in
real estate is understanding how to have a buying system in place where the system does
the work for you. That’s the subject of my Real Estate Profit Pro System, which you

You see, I know that you can be successful in real estate because if someone that grew up
in a doublewide trailer milking goats and plucking chickens can learn how to invest in
real estate without using money, credit or taking big risks then I know with all of your
God given talents you can make it as big as your dreams allow.
