Hi All,I was reading this article(http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/7-Years-to-7-Figure-Wealth.pdf) over the weekend and had a question. 

It sounds like a similar concept to a zero-coupon bond, which people buy all the time but at steeper discounts.

@Melissa LabelleBrandon's book recommendations would be a good start https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Best-Real-Estate-Books-Ever_1.pdf

You can also receive discounts from the Pro Desk or if you have a coupon.
