He sparked the interest in me to pursue real estate investing, however I chose a different path of investing then that of what he teaches. I do not feel that his techniques are for the beginner with no money. Yes, buying homes with no money down is easy, but keeping them does require money. I chose the buy and sell route over the buy and hold.

  I'm just an average guy who had no real estate experience when I started investing in 1998. At the time, I was dead broke. I had just come out of a failed restaurant venture, was going through a divorce, and had debt up to my eyeballs. I wanted to invest and heard an awful lot about "no money down" investing, so I set out to learn how I could do it. Once I discovered how, it took me about two seconds to realize that this would be the way I would make my living for the rest of my life. 

By early 2002, I had participated in 170+ transactions and, for the first time in my life, became financially free. And let me tell you, it’s great! I am truly blessed and praise God every day for allowing me, his humble servant, to enjoy such success. I don't have to get up to go to work every morning. I don’t have a boss. I set my own schedule, go on vacations when I like, take a day off when I choose, live where I want to live, and provide for my family without ever having to worry about how I'm going to get by.

Call me lucky, if you must. But the only reason I might consider myself lucky is that I didn't fall for the "buy and hold" strategy of investing taught to many beginners. I haven't done anything special to achieve my success, certainly nothing that anyone else can't do. And if you like, I'll help you achieve the same success.
