Soon after, I came across Bigger Pockets and read Rich Dad Poor Dad, which sky rocketed by interest in real estate, after realizing it wasn't as daunting as I thought it was.My goals are to close at least 2 deals this year.

Hey everyone,I'm going to preface this by saying this will be about blockchain technology and no, this has nothing to do with ICOs or the hype or any get rich investing advice.

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is another good one to read. 

I’ve read every book I can get on the topic including; rich dad poor dad, long distance real estate investing, the book on real estate investing with low and no money down, the book on rental property investing, and finding and funding great deals.

It's just for show, as far as these guys are concerned, the money belongs to the rich co-workerSo it all depends on your personal situation.It's funny that the bank made all this fuss during the qualifying stage, but at the closing, they don't check or care to see where the funds came from.

On the recommendation of a friend, I downloaded the Bigger Pockets podcast and was pleasantly surprised to find that the very first podcast in my list was Ep. 268 - Acquiring 20 Long Distance Rental Homes on a Military Salary with Rich Carey.

Hi Rich,Thanks for the welcome.

Hoarders never get rich because they value objects over money. 

I don't think that your friend could replicate his success starting today and going forward over the same time span.There is no one path to real estate riches.
