'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?

I would also highly recommend the Rich Dad Poor Dad and E-myth books.

@Rich Hupper Any property those goes in default on their taxes can go up for sale.

I would love to gift it to her but we not that rich and that is why we want a formal agreement, just to cover our "investment".

I originally went looking for a source of knowledge on investing that was talking about the difficulties of investing and not about how it's the end all beat all of get rich paths.

I became interested in real estate after reading the ever so popular Rich Dad, Poor Dad. 

I read a book in the rich dad series that I really liked called the ABCs of starting a business by Sharon Leckter I think it was.
