I have been studying real estate investing since I was 15 years old. It's always been fascinating to me how many different ways there are to profit in this industry.
Two years ago I made the move to being a real estate agent. I liked the idea of having a dependable job in the field I loved. I soon learned like everyone else, real estate agents have ups and down in their jobs. So I decided to focus mainly on the investment side of the industry. When your job is something you love to do you never have to call it work.
Most of my experience is focused on learning how to invest. Like most people I was afraid to take that first step. I've studied so many different courses I could fill an entire bookcase.
I took little bits here and there from each course and discarded what I felt was sales lingo. Now I can see the deals out there and make a good judgment to its value.
9 years of course after course I finely took the first step two years ago. Each day I take a few more!!!
I believe setting goals is very important. I have a long list of them.
My biggest is to become one of the largest real estate investors in the U.S.The reason for this is when I was 15 years old I was talking to a local investor regarding a house he had for sell. I was trying to work out a deal so my mom could get the house. I used a creative finance technique to buy the house. After we had worked out everything and purchased the house he called me the next Donald Trump.
One of my main goals is to help everyone who is interested in investing learn how to invest wisely. I really like the idea of helping people understand the in's and out's of real estate investing.
That's one of the reasons I enjoy this site some much.
A good deal! Each property offers a different opportunity. I might have a buyer or might be interested myself.
