John, years ago I would've felt a bit chagrined about you giving away our little "secret".

My next in line to read is a book that REI suggested in a separate thread, "Wealth Protection Secrets of a Millionaire Real Estate Investor" :groovy:

I am a big believer in T Harv Ekers book Secrets of a Millionaire mind in that what you think is what you become and the world delivers what you "ask" for.
