Money is IN THE LEAST EXPECTED PLACES!

So I work at a timeshare sales place where the salesman make great money and the secretary's make a very low income. Well after hearing me ramble on about real estate all the time my low paying secretary comes to me and asks me if she could invest in one my upcoming deals......I kinda thought to myself you will most likely need a lot more money than you have, but it was right after that thought that she said I have great credit and have 50,000 saved so i could use both my great credit and the 50,000 to put in, is that enough? I heard in a podcast that money is all around us we just have to ask or talk about real estate enough to get people around us excited. When I started talking a lot of real estate talk in the office it was to attract some others in my company to invest and little did I know it was going to be the lowest paid worker in the company to offer the most cash and the best credit to get a few deals done! 

I thought this story would inspire a lot of people to get talking about the things they plan to do, because there are a lot of people out there holding onto their money because they dont have any idea what to do with it or are to scared to do anything with. thanks @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin for the advice. 

SO EVERYONE GO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED AND WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE THATS HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE MONEY YOU NEED TO JUMP INTO THIS BUSINESS

hope this helps.
