I started in real estate investing in 1990 and bought and held 2 houses, I bought using my VA benefits. I lost those houses because my girlfriend at the time was not supportive of my goals. I moved 90 miles away from the homes and became an absentee landlord. Instead of going into foreclosure, I filed bankruptcy and let the houses go.

Now, it’s anew day and a new dream and more educated. I have a very supportive wife now and she encourages me to go after my dreams of real estate success. I am now 52 yrs old and I see now that the retirement system in America will not be able to substantiate my retirement goals. Real Estate will be my main income producer if everything goes as planned. Yes, there is a plan, there always has to be a plan.
