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..

A lot of rich people on this site think similarly.

Hi, basically i know some very rich arabs who have asked me to help them find a house, the problem is I am not an estate agent, is there any way I can refer them to an estate agent and get a commission.

I settled on Bedford because it's also one of the few Cleveland suburbs which is C/B- class for good genuine reasons (the people here just aren't rich), rather than reasons like crime or poverty.

Working in the tech industry, I was able to save enough money (initially planned to buy a home for myself, but after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad the goal obviously changed) for my first investment.After analyzing the potential markets to invest (Ireland, UK, and Portugal), I came to the conclusion that Portugal was the best choice.

Over the past few years, I've checked out seminars from Rich Dad, Than Merrill, and Renatus.

It's like a get rich quick scheme and I fear that it is predatory in nature.  

I am a beginner investor in Metro Atlanta and i have been expanding my knowledge on real estate and the right way to invest in real estate is through various books like rich dad poor dad, ABC's of real estate investing, BP book on low and no money down investing, and multifamily millions by david lindahl to prepare myself on how to build wealth from funds i will soon be recieving that i plan on making moves with.
