Hello BP Nation!
My name is James A. Register and I started learning about real estate investing over 35 years ago. When I was 17 years old, I started watching all those late night TV shows(infomercials) promising to make you a millionaire if you buy one of their real estate courses, well I was sold. I invested what I call a life saving back in those days. well I didn't rich but, I knew one day I would retire and invest in some type of real estate.
Over the years, I have worked for landlords and home improvement companies, you name it I have probably done it. I have fixed broken windows, broken floors and yes, a few broken toilets as well.
A few years ago, as I approached my retirement years I looked at my savings/retirement and I wanted better returns so I said to my wife, it's about time I take a serious look at real estate.
I Discovered Family First Real Estate By Accident
I started searching the internet everyday, day in and day, then one day I ran across a real team of licensed credit consultants and local business owners working together to help families with minor credits issues move into their dream homes right away.
I thought for a moment, what a concept, stop buying empty houses and start buying pretty houses for qualified families. There it was. no empty houses, no late payments and no late night calls.
Today, I teach family first real estate and I am here on Bigger Pockets to learn as much as possible, generously share my knowledge and network with other like minded people sharing their knowledge as well.
