I Finally Divorced My Poor Dad!

[William Ayres]

Hello Everyone,

I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and it totally changed my life! I have now almost completely eliminated my debt, and replaced that debt with assets! The only problem is that I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad almost twelve years ago, and I only recently divorced my poor dad...lol. I failed to act and heed Robert Kiyosaki's advice. Regardless, I am very happy with where I am at now. I've owned a rental home since 2007 that has produced zero cash flow, but I am getting ready to change this situation after reading several books on real estate investing. I will ask for more advice on this position in another post, but I wanted to introduce myself first. 

My name is Troy Ayres. I am originally from Oregon but I live in Florida now and love it. I have a beautiful wife and the most incredible homeschooled five-year-old daughter! I am veteran and former Green Beret, but now I am an officer in the Army Reserves. I really don't have a civilian career, because I keep hopping on orders. I have been deployed six times in five different countries, and I am really looking for some new opportunities so that I will never have to leave my family again. I realize that there are going to be some difficult moments with becoming a real estate investor, but I have not exactly had a trouble-free life as an adult. I really believe that I am up to the challenge and that my experiences as a soldier have given me many skills that will enable me to become a successful real estate investor. I look forward to meeting and learning from everyone while I pursue this new path.

-Troy
