Walter White - did have a system that worked for awhile - but not real estate--I love the term meth strategies ---- I have taken many of those courses when I was younger,74 now, and you are right - some of these seminar leaders don't know much - they do know the buzz words that is the bait that attracts those looking for some cash flow.I took so many program that I decided to give some of my own - but with lots of substance - real stuff - street wise systems - I was determined to put together a program that works - what I discovered is ---- if you really want to learn this business - try to teach it.So---------FAST FORWARD ------ I am still investing and helping others (partnering), developed a reasonable portfolio with my wife of 46 years and have a great cash flow that is working well for us - we are now developing commercial real estate - having fun and living the good life with a wonderful family, a family that gravitated to this business as well.
