My name is Samuel Schultz. I'm completely new to everything real estate. I've been following a couple of the typical investors that come up through personalized ads on Facebook. I know these are mostly gimmicks as they all claim to provide "free" information in order to bait you into paying for their insanely priced courses. After much research on sucj individuals, I actually found out about BP through Reddit of all places.

I would like to provide you all with a quick little background about myself. I grew up in Southeast Houston, Texas with my sister in a single-parent household after my parents divorced. With dad absent for most of my childhood (for reasons unbeknownst to me), my mom did everything she could to keep the bills paid, a roof over our heads, and food on the table. I watched as cheap cash cars were bought with income tax every few years when they got too expensive to maintain. We moved a few times as necessary for mom to afford the basic necessities. It was a constant struggle for her and pain that she never knew I saw. We eventually left Houston and moved to the Bolivar Peninsula just south of Galveston. Little did I know, my own personal struggles with life as a teenager would begin. Keeping things short and sweet, I managed to keep myself out of serious trouble, but I had to drop out of high school in 2010 and obtain my GED for personal reasons. Now here I am in 2024 with a career as a Crane Operator making six figures on a good year, two beautiful children, and a loving a supportive wife.

There is a large gap there I know, but its all stuff that I keep to myself. Just a bunch of screw ups and burned bridges along the way that paved the road that lead me to where I am today. The problem is I still live with family. The wife and I currently live in a 3BR house we are renting along with my older brother and my mom. Covid left us all with thousands in credit card debt and a living situation that neither of us want to be in.

In my life experiences, I've come to dreams and aspirations that aren't of the typical variety. It seems as though most people in this world are so focused on themselves that they forget to care about others. I want to be a change in the world. I want to make a difference in others' lives. I want my wealth to be measured in care and compassion, not by the digits in my bank account. Of course, that means I still need to make those digits in order to achieve what I know my God wants me to achieve.

My dreams are to have two major businesses. I would like one to be of the investment type where I make all of the money to provide change in other lives. The second would be a business dedicated to providing opportunity to responsible individuals who just can't seem to get ahead just because they are yet another number (i.e. credit score) on a piece of paper. An example would be those who can't afford a mortgage of less than their cost of rent simply because they don't have a down payment and the score to back it, yet provide accurate and detailed rent payments over X amount of years. I look at it this way: you need a roof over your head to survive, don't you? You're either gonna do what it takes to make sure that happens and be rewarded in the end by one way or another, or you're gonna wind up losing everything. I like to believe most people would choose the former. I guess I'm just sick of watching banks and corporations ONLY care about the dollar and not the people who bring the dollars to them.

With my background and goals put forth, I look forward to getting to know a lot of you and gaining insight into this market and how it can help my to enrich not only my family, but families everywhere. Be on the lookout for future posts and comments as I plan to become very active and engaging. I am more than ready to get to work and start grinding towards a better future.

Thank you for taking your time to read this and may God Bless you and your families and friends.
