I have actually attended a few sessions of GaReia over the past couple of years on and off.

On another, more international level, he and I have a Kiva account and we have a regular monthly session where we decide to whom we will lend our $25.00 and talk about where they live versus where we are and in what ways their lives are different, or similar, to his.I think you can teach your children the concept and *real power* of money {to do good} without conveying the message that money for the sake of money, is the objective.

One way to ensure you stay committed is to engage in the forums, network with local investors, and read books!

Much better to get your own financial house in order so you can buy a house in the conventional fashion rather than engage in a lease/option.

The flip side is that that is a lot of energy and motivation to be picked up from being engaged with a group like this.

I don't know exactly what he is wanting to do and how engaged he is willing to be but I don't want to take advantage of his offer.

I greatly appreciated my BP family's help in this brainstorm session.

As the buyer, it is the only way I would do it.Keep asking questions and engage this community, it is the fast track to proper education.PS.

Stay active here on BP and engage the community.

Those who engage this community in an effort to learn and/or do deals will reap the benefits.
