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..

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.
