After “leaving” college I went to work for this dot com company selling websites door to door to local businesses. The job only lasted a few months until I was told they couldnt pay my salary any longer.

Thankfully I got some really good experience in direct sales which helped me a lot.

After the dot com deal I worked for a dry cleaning business. I was there for about a year and already I was unhappy.

I wasn’t going anywhere and I knew deep down I wasn’t going to become wealthy working for someone else.

What I needed to do was start my own business.

I knew that most of the wealth in this country is controlled by business owners and most of that wealth was created through real estate.

I didn’t have any experience in real estate, I didn’t have any money and I didn’t have any credit so I wasn’t sure how I was gonna get started as a real estate investor.

Then one night while I was watching TV, I saw a commercial for a free workshop on how to do real estate without money, credit or experience. That was attractive to me because I didn’t have any of those.

So I went to the workshop and they explained what it was all about and they were also offering a seminar for $5000 to teach the whole process of how to do the business.

This was a defining moment in my life. I had to make the decision of whether to walk out of that room and go look for another job or to invest money that I didn’t have to go to the seminar.

I ended up putting the seminar on a credit card and I haven’t looked back since. I will never be employed by anyone except for myself for the rest of my life.

I learned a lot at that seminar and I am the type of person that takes massive action.

The Secret and the Law of Attraction are all well and good but the truth of the matter is; you are not going to change your life unless you take massive action.

When I know what I want, I go after it. I went home and started implementing all of the strategies that I learned.

I started buying a lot of houses and was very scattered. I was using all types of strategies and was all over the place.

I was doing rehabbing, subject-to’s, wholesales, vacant houses, REO’s.

My cash flow was terrible and because I owned all these houses, I had either taken over the payments or I went out and got hard money loans to buy the properties.

So I had to make payments on all of them. I ended up maxing out my credit cards, my credit score took a huge dive and I was almost out of business before I started.

It wasn’t until I figured out that by working the foreclosure market, you don’t have to make payments on houses and you don’t have to fix them up.

I stuck it out. I ended up selling the houses I had loans on and I paid off my credit cards.

I decided from that point on, I only do short sale deals.

It only took me 2 years to get to a point where I was financially free. If I could do it all over again, I would start right with foreclosures and skip all of the other stuff.

I created all of the automation systems in my business and now the business runs without me.

I spend about an hour a week meeting with my team and we close an average of 3 -4 short sales a month at an average profit of $38,000.

Its an average of $38,000 because we do some wholesale deals that range from the $10,000-$20,000 range and we do some luxury homes that are in the $80,000 to $170,000 range.

Now, after years of investing in real estate, I’ve confirmed that there’s no better way to take control of your money (especially controlling it to make BIG profits and returns than by including preforeclosure investing in your real estate investment arsenal.

I live life on my terms now. I work when I want. I play when I want.

I live in Florida on the gulf and every night I sit and watch the fish jump behind my house.

I’m not saying this to brag. I am saying this because I pictured myself living in this house 5 years ago. I had never seen the house except for in my mind.

Now I’m giving back by teaching as many people as I can how to take advantage of opportunities in the real estate market.

I also make an absolute fortune through foreclosure investing and helping a ton of homeowners at the same time.
