I previously lived in Phoenix AZ, have friends and family there now, am very familiar with the valley, and believe it has great growth prospects like most major cities over the long term.My experience consists of reading/listening to nearly every Rich Dad book/audio course, as well as reading many other Real Estate books by different authors, attending REI and Cashflow clubs in Phoenix, and a few seminars.

This story kinda gives a "refresh" to my motivation to stay consistent.

Hustle, problem solve, be resourceful, and be consistent.

I TOTALLY STOPPED watching the news and twitter feed 3 months ago and I am much more zenAll the best!
