Yeah the tricky part is that on paper I look like I have zero skin in the game, but in reality i have read a lot of books, listened to podcasts and my father is a real estate investor and was a real estate developer overseas, and i have learnt a lot from him, all the tips and trick for over 4 years now.A little back drop of where my drive comes from:My father came from nothing as a refugee and has no college degree at 18 yeas old.

To add my .02, I'm a refugee out of Cambodia.

Peculiarly enough, the fact that my wife is Russian with Ukrainian roots and that we recently decided to become involved in refugee resettlement has also thrown open doors for us I wouldn't have expected -- Pittsburgh has its problems, but it also has a a long, proud history as a city that welcomes those fleeing wars and oppression.

I have had so many tribulations in my life from living trough a civil war as a child, being a child refugee in a foreign country, living all over the world including two years in Saudi Arabia( great experience) carrying out a pregnancy while dealing with stage 4 cancer, going through chemo and losing my intellectual abilities, currently being my blind father-in-law caretaker on top of everything else, so I may lose this trial but I will not give up.  

Leased to refugee family from Afghanistan--children already had lead poisonings from home country, but at first medical appointment in US, lead poisoning is discovered--all state wanted to know was where they lived, and lead paint  lead investigator finds lead several layers deep on a couple of baseboards, door jams, outside porch, and I have to abate.
