I am interested. Message me some details please. .

It's very positive to see you having success. Thanks for sharing the story. 

@Chad Clanton Thanks sir, will be in touch. 

Hello all, 

  I will be moving to San Antonio for 7 months for purposes of serving our great country. While I am there, I may be interested in doing business with locals and possibly helping out with some rehabs ect. Feel free to reach out if you are open to building with a newbie. 

Respectfully,

Steven Francis 

Although I may be new to real estate, I am not new to doing the impossible and achieving success! 

Outside of my public service in the USMC and USAF, I had a passion. That passion was music. Similar to finding an exit strategy here, I had to think about how I was actually going to earn money, making music. 

While working a 9-5 I wrote songs. An old man would come by and ask me to to hear them. After listening, he would give me a critique and offer advice. He always told me about publishing. 

I had no idea what or how to publish my own music. After all, who is going to pay for unknown music? I opted to cut my hours at my job and do some research. 

I started traveling to NYC, MIA, and LA frequently. I landed myself a consultation job for the program director of a popular urban label! Off to work I went networking and feeling important. Still didn't have a publishing deal...

I opted to work for an A&R company while consulting in hopes of doubling my odds. I was back and forth from ATL to Ma every weekend. 

After many years of doing shows, interning, and gaining knowledge; my break finally came! The crazy thing is, it was from an unrelated source. Essentially what happened was one of the largest independent publishing companies in the world found my music online and had me on TV within a day! 

It can happen. That is why I am here. I know nothing about real estate. What I do know is that I am a realist. My reality is that I can do anything with the right tools. I spent 10 years working on my goal to gain a publishing contract and even though the money wasn't over the top, it was worth it. 

Absolutely nothing can stand in your way except for you! If you decide to quit, it isn't the fault of anyone other than yourself. Dedication and effort do pay off not only in cash but also in character and momentum. 

Your will is your guide.

@Blair Poelman excellent response. Fee like I just got a quick class on that one. 

@Lekisha Cole hit me up if you make the deal. Is like to shadow you while you move it. If you don't mind? Good luck! 

@Rob Beland Welcome to the sir. I am new to the site as well. I have everything to learn, so I appreciate your experiences. 

If your presenting an idea that is valuable, you don't need a celebrity to pump it up. They were getting folks for 2500 before they gave any information. When you buy a car, you see it, drive it, inspect it, buy it. 

These schemes work this way: "Im a celebrity, I was once poor, I did xyz, you can do it too for a nominal fee"... They had the " I made 10 grand today guy and the father was dying from an incurable disease and all the money I made helped him live longer guy".  Disclaimer: Results are not typical and may vary.   

To get rich quick, or not? Recently went to a real estate program from a TV show that promised the world. They say a sucker is born everyday, I think it's more like a sleezball is born every second. Using celebrity to scam people has to be the lowest of low in terms of basic human interaction. I am from a hard working community and I am pretty sure that none of the people there were ready for the Okie Doke. I felt bad, especially for the old woman who were clearly star gazing. I imagine they had good info to share, but for 8 grand I would personally rather pay 8 people a grand a piece for some mentoring. That is how I found this site. I was researching scams ect and I guess some of you went through the same program. The money for me wasn't an issue, the issue is good faith in business. I would rather loose money with an honest person than give to shysters. In closing, I want to say that I am extremely happy for this site. I have learned more in the last three days than in my entire life. Thank all of you for your experience. V/R Mr. Steven Francis
