I live with my fiancé and I was blessed to be able to buy my childhood home on a land contract (my parents downsized.)I joined the forum, because I wanted 2014 to lay down a foundation of happiness, wealth and health.

Can you imagine her tearing up this childhood home?

I am sharing the lessons learned from two of my mentors; my father and his childhood buddy, Charlie, both have achieved great success and rewards from the real estate industry.This is not the only way to achieve success; it is just one example.

My cousin who is very successful is coming over this week to talk to me about it and help me get started.My background: A few things in my childhood and my dad's job loss(es) shaped me into hating debt.

He is trying to sell so he can buy his wifes childhood home.

Instead the week before I left I was offered a job in the SF Bay Area and went there instead.I've wanted to move back there since '79 when I moved to TX, but it's taken until now to convince my bride!

Could you guys please take your childhood memories to that Reunion or Classmates website...

By the way, I grew up much of my childhood outside Kalispell, Montana.

Agents are kind of like mail order brides; neither really knows what they're in for until they're already married.

I'm sure Freud would read something into that from my childhood. :-)I guess if I had to pick one 'secret' every successful person I personally know shares, it would be passion.
