I would have bought assets instead of a mountain of liabilities and got my financial education right instead of what my broke parents taught me about money .

I've gone through enough real estate education to know that just about everybody recommends pinpointing certain areas -- zip codes or sometimes even neighborhoods -- in which you see a lot of cash-buyer activity and targeting those areas to find houses.

Paid off the private money loan, the closing cost and walked a way with about $500.00 the whole process took 9 months.We could have done it on the 160K, however I did not want to over leverage the property on our first try.

I just want to have a little more education instead of going down the wrong road(if there is a wrong road)

We plan to leverage the Bigger Pockets Lease agreement. 

The education I received through the podcast was invaluable in giving me the knowledge and confidence to do the first deal.

Anthony,  That would make sense when you have equity to leverage. 

When it crashes, give it a little bit and plenty of people will either panic sell, be leveraged so much that they're forced to sell when something small goes wrong or have to liquidate to finance other issues they're having.

@Benny Gelbendorf go to the education tab and select forums.

I'm committed and highly motivated to building a legacy and financial education for my future children and also provide great returns for family, friends and colleagues.
