My interest in real estate investing was first sparked by the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It changed my way of thinking about money. I attended one of their seminars and decided I would do my homework before aligning myself with anyone to learn about real estate investing. Because of Dean, his coaching program and this website I chose Dean as my mentor. Funny and wonderful that it turned out that he came with multiple mentors that frequent this site. Thanks everyone.
I was scared to death but used my home's equity to buy a house on the other side of the US. I bought it so right and followed the advise in Dean's books and ended up selling it the day I closed on it for a profit of $15,000. I was hooked!
