I feel the need to point out that I know this is still an undertaking that requires a great deal of work and knowledge; I don't want anyone to get the idea that I'm looking to "get rich quick" or anything of that nature.

He thinks you're rich because you own property and can toss cash at him to shut him up.

I’ve read most of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and also halfway through “The book on Rental Property Investing” written by our very own Brandon Turner.

Luckily my children are both 2 and younger so i have some time before i reach that point.After my shift in thinking i read rich dad, poor dad and confirmed i was not indeed crazy. 

I do however have a copy of an excellent list that mentions a lot of the common books, such as Rich Dad Poor Dad, EMyth etc.

Has any no 💰 guy ever partnered with a rich dude on a deal. 

I don't have time to explain everything from scratch, if someone is totally green I usually tell them to read a few books and get on BP before we talk more.When I started out I signed up for a one year coaching program with Rich Dad Education.

Books: Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich,  How to win friends and influence people.Podcast: BPMentors: @Ben Leybovich, Tom Krol, Joe McCall for the US. 

Over the past six months I have been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcasts and reading a couple of the books that guests recommend (Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Miracle Morning).

I would just say that if you go to one where you quickly get the vibe the organizer is trying to sell something (i.e. some kind of coaching or get rich quick whatever...) get out of there...meetups should be about networking, sharing opportunities etc...IMHO not about selling your fellow REIA members....if anyone disagrees I'd welcome the input
