Rich Dad-Poor Dad is a good start...but do NOT buy any of Kyosaki's seminar crap...they're nothing but college age, wanna be high pressure salesmen in the hotel conference rooms selling ideas, but giving no real investment information.3) You can never, ever, ever buy a property cheaply enough !

I recently read rich dad poor dad and it really got me interested in investing in real estate.

Yes, I am another one of those Rich Dad converts.  

You're rich!

I can build brand new 3 bedroom, 2 bath duplex for $110,000 per side ($220,000 per building).Conservative appraisal $140,000 minimum, real world would be $150,000.Rent $1300/per sideTaxes $250/month per side(non owner...

That maybe the case, however its only if have no real intention or the know-how for creatively helping someone solve their problem that I become a "time waster" Most of us weren't born rich and have to start somewhere. 

So eitherHe was already rich or he used Leverage ?  

Marcy, I would say that getting your husband on board is going to be a pretty important key to your success....I bought my wife a copy of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and that really helped give her an understanding as to why and what I was trying to do.

It's a real estate seminar scam similar to a Rich Dad seminar scam and Armando Montelongo seminar scam.

You can earn more if you manage the property yourself... but if you are busy with other ventures, a management company might be a good route.Although no one is getting rich on their first income property, you could feasibly have it paid off in full in 6 years or less and then aside from depreciation, taxes, management fees and whatnot, it's cash free and clear.
