I promise no sales pitch, just my info and history. I'm 60 years old. I was a re broker in cal and col in the 70's, right place right time doing lots of investments and syndications. I was able to retire at age 29 and moved to ore to raise kids and cows.
For the next 22 years I help raised our 6 kids and still invested in real estate. Several months back, I reached my 1000th home purchased individually . I was asked to write a book for a real estate seminar company in 2001 about my experiences and early retirement which I did. They asked me to become a keynote speker for them and I said no. I self published the book.
My wife and I went on the road to become full time rv'ers in 2002, 3 days after our 6th child left home. We had a ball and travelled for 4 years.
We spent the last couple years between our TX, AZ, Cancun and CAL homes. We're now pretty full time Texans.
I'm currently buying properties in TX and MS for myself and investors. I love real estate and have done all parts of it. I was licensed broker in CA and CO, syndicated properties, had mgmt companies, done trades (1 was a 17 legged exchange with properties in 4 states), built over 40 spec homes in So. Utah, rehabbed, wholesaled, and bought and sold foreclosures
This looks like a fun site , as soon as I learn how to use it! I will have turn key investments available on this site as soon as I qualify. I have been speaking quarterly for a real estate seminar company in Vegas for a year.
I'm a passionate real estate investor. There is nothing like it. I've seen ups and downs, and lots of scams out there. As a "middle aged gentleman" I've had a lot of experiences and this isn't my first time around the block. Please be careful when you're buying properties on line or from seminars. These are important decisions you're making about your future and creating wealth.
I hope to be available as often as possible. Thanks for reading!!
