I read rich dad poor dad and am currently reading cash flow quadrant.

I was first introduced to this industry six months ago after reading the classic Rich Dad Poor Dad.

The Rub:Currently I do not have the down payment, next year or the following, absolutely.Possible fixes:1) See if a commercial lender will finance a down payment, while I pay the owner for the next ten years or until a can save enough for a proper downpayment, all the while paying the down payment too. 2) Find a rich uncle, who is not afraid of the numbers.3) Find partners.Legality: Is it legal to ask for a lender to fund the downpayment?

For instance, you can pay yourself from the CPA and contribute towards 401K and Roth and minimize tax liability.3) Read "Rich Dad Poor Dad", owning a business is the best way to minimize your tax liabilities.  

I'm aware that is not a scheme of getting rich quick.

to it.. real estate is a long game .. tenant pays off the house that's the ultimate goal get those houses paid for.. not all full of debt and run our numbers at 200 a door times 100 and your going to retire.. some pull it off but not many.. the real profit in rentals is someone else paying your house off for you and at the end of a 15 or 20 year run you have a paid for asset that hopefully went up a bit.For those in CA well you can truly get rich on appreciation and other markets in the US... not so much in areas of historic non appreciation.then you get the Houston thing were act of god wipes you out.. sad but true.

My train of thought about money, finances and real estate has been opened thanks to this community, the BP podcasts, rich dad poor dad book and so many other avenues in which I have been educating myself in.

It could come from voting for certain politicians who run on taxing the rich.

I am 42 yrs old and after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and listening to numerous podcasts which include BP, The Real Estate Guys, and some others I feel its time I take action.

Or maybe look for the true identity of rich dad ;)
