After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad I knew that real estate would be the best way for me to create wealth. 

Aside from that, I have no experience with real estate.In terms of education, I did take Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad coaching courses to learn about real estate investing back around 2010.

The riches are in the niches.

I'm house rich, and poor cash now.

Nobody gets rich by trucking, but it's a respectable living that can support a family.

As they say, cash flow pays the bills, but appreciation is what makes you rich.

CC is for rich dudes...

I'm Andrew Geib, currently I'm working as a lean six sigma engineer based in the Aurora/Naperville area. 1) Favorite real estate book: just picked up Rich Dad Poor Dad for the first time2) Favorite non-real estate book: Freakonomics3) Advice for new investors: seeing as I am a new to real estate, get started now rather than later. 4) Hobbies: cars, I autocross my daily driver whenever I can, I'm resorting a classic mustang, and I frequently go to car shows all across Chicagoland. 

Let's pretend it's a generous 1 yr CD with no early withdrawal penalty.7 year CD: 2% and penalized six months of interest if you pull funds out early.If you pull funds out after exactly 12 months, it's a wash:1 yr CD @ 1 yr: $10k * 1% = $100.7 yr CD @ 1 yr with penalty: $10k * 2% - [$10k * 2% / 2] = $100.After 18 months...1 yr CD @ 1.5 years: $10k * 1% * 1.5 years = $150.7 yr CD @ 1.5 years and penalized six months of interest: $10k * 2% * 1.5 years - [$10k * 2% * 0.5 years] = $200.So there's your low risk / low reward "CD hacking" tip of the day to get rich by earning an extra $50 on $10k after a year and a half.

I think what U learned is there is no get quick rich schemes out there and real estate unless your going to work it full time as a broker is a looooong game.. now some do ok pimping it..
