When I was 13 I started my own landscaping company in NJ (Divine Landscaping) and just recently started a video production company (Non Stop Productions).Through the 4 years I have been in Raleigh, NC I have seen an enormous change in real estate and I am tired of sitting back and watching other investors get rich quick. 

Always more than the seller reveals.Stop reading crap like Rich Dad Poor Dad.  

Thanks @Ned Carey and @Rich Baer!

Rich from SF Bay.

There is not a tax code for the rich and a separate one for the middle class...there is just one tax code.  

I just recently finished rich dad poor dad and I loved it and opened my eyes, now I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible and trying to get a 4plex to start off.

'Rich Dad Poor Dad' as I'm sure you've heard of if you listen to the podcasts.

I've also gone back and read a few of the various "Rich Dad" books, and they have been both inspiring and educational.

BUT NOW due to mining recession house prices are plummeting and so are jobs - it's not looking better in the close future.My girlfriend and I have joined the "Rich Dad" based mentorship program for the UK and connected with a local investors group who already invest into UK (with the same program).The plan is to start with lower budget "buy to let" and find the odd good deal to flip a property for cashflow to reinvest.

I'll do my best to keep it concise and interesting :)About me: - Interest in real estate started while in college (Rich Dad Poor Dad)- Worked in sales and management after graduating- Built a real estate investment portfolio part time while working full time- Quit my W-2 job after 3 years and went full time self employed- Started and sold a successful ECommerce business (Still partial ownership, but silent partner.  4-hour work week anyone?
