Rich Dad had a huge influence on my life as well, so I know the feeling!

Actually, I lived in Redding for most of my life.

Just a different approach to life and investing.

There is more to life than just money.

It seemed like real life Monopoly where people had properties for sale or trade etc.

The circumstances are tragic and the father is left trying to put the pieces of his life back together and I'm not looking to profit.

That's a big milestone, and hopefully will add value to your life in some respect.

Other than reading articles online, base from experience of real people, laws, and how terms are applied in real life situations, i find investopedia.com to be a good guide as well for explanation and definitions of terms in RE that you might find difficult to understand.

I don't know anything about anything when it comes to Real Estate, but I'm Driven and I know where I want to go in life.

I also know of private money from people with large cash values in a whole life policy, or business owners flush with cash looking for a good investment.
