Introduction
Congratulations!
Welcome to the world of real estate investing where one deal could change your life!
By accepting my invitation to teach you simple principles of real estate investing, you have taken your first step toward big profits and investment success.
The field of real estate investing may seem intimidating at first, but it shouldnt. The reality is that buying duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment properties is much more straightforward than you may think. Even if you have no experience in this business, the information in this Book will prepare you to get started with confidence.
Let me tell you a little about my own experience in this business. I began my real estate career as an entrepreneur in the environmental industry. I went to work in corporate America after I graduated from college, but shortly made the decision to go off on my own.
My environmental company did a lot of things, but one of them was to clean up contaminated soils for projects that would later become real estate developments. I remember particularly working with one of the larger real estate developers in Chicago. I quickly did the math on his benefit of being in real estate, and knew that was the direction that I was going to go in. Real estate in general, trumps most other avenues to gain wealth. I talked about this subject in detail in my first book Real Estate H2O.
I worked hard, got a great education in the real estate business, and I loved what I did.
But I had one major frustration.
I was a young entrepreneur and didnt know enough about managing my time in order to start my real estate investing in apartments. I struggled with that at first, but quickly became organized and focused. Looking back now, I felt like that was a big hurdle to overcome in order to have success in this business.
There are a lot of areas that you can get involved in with real estate investing, but I chose apartment building investing as my avenue. As a kid, in the South Chicago area I always lived in apartment buildings. I got to see all of the tenants, including my mother, struggle to go out and pay rent. Who benefitted in my eyes from that? The apartment building owner! I remember thinking at a young age, all of the tenants are really working for the owner of the building! Youll see that in addition to generating income and creating wealth for you, this is a business that can become a legacy to be passed to future generations.
Make no mistake, there were fearful moments and many times when I doubted myself. But I had seen so many examples of other people who had succeeded that I knew it was possible for me as well. I also knew that success in this business is more about taking action and doing something than waiting until you have a perfect plan.
For me, the time had come to follow the words of Dr. Martin Luther King:
Take the first step in faith. You dont have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
I can assure you that I never had the luxury of seeing the entire staircase! But I had faith in my ability to adapt along the way and to succeed. And because I was able to do it, I know that you can too especially since I am about to share with you all the lessons and insider secrets I learned along the way(shhhh! - Lets keep all of this between ourselves!)
Consider this Book to be the first step toward your prosperous future. Once you have mastered the techniques and strategies presented here, you will be prepared to venture far as an investor in real estate.
Lets detail the steps covered in this Book that will help you become a successful investor within a few short weeks:
- You will learn why buying apartments are the most sought-after properties in real estate today.
- You will learn how to leverage your time and resources so that you can supplement your income and build your nest egg. That same apartment owner, always told me as a kid You will never work yourself rich. To get rich, you have to put your money to work for you. And buying rental properties is a great way to do just that.
- You will learn how to keep it simple. Once you have your step-by-step approach down pat, you will be able to repeat your efforts over and over again as many times as you want to build your holdings. You can use this information to buy two units, 20 units, or 200 units whatever you feel comfortable with. And you can grow your business even more quickly as your assets and networks grow.
- You will learn the invaluable methods that I have mastered over almost 20 years in the real estate industry.
- You will learn how to engage the assistance of others to help you reach your goals. Anyone can be successful in this business but having qualified people on your team will catapult you to the finish line.
- You will learn the fundamentals that will become the foundation for your investing business, whether you want to follow it full time or part time.
- Best of all, you will learn how you can invest in larger properties without having to do any work! This information alone will put you at a great advantage over the majority of struggling investors. You are going to see secret tips throughout the book. These are real money making ideas that you can put to use immediately! But remember, keep quiet about them, we dont want everyone to know our secrets!
Real estate provides a wonderful opportunity for all types of first-time investors. It is a world of pure entrepreneurism where anyone who is willing to put in the effort to learn the business and follow some basic procedures can develop a custom-tailored operation to supplement or replace your current income.
The powerful advantage that real estate offers is that there are so many ways to be successful following different strategies. While my program provides a template for a proven system (I proved it on myself!), you are free to deviate from my path and forge your own to make this business work for you.
This is not one of those get-rich-quick schemes that work for one percent of the people one percent of the time usually by chance. This is a genuine business that you can learn and put into practice probably sooner than you think. And you will learn everything you need to know to get started right here.

Secret TIP: While youre learning this business, set aside dedicated time, on a regular basis, for reading this Book and following your first steps to success. Make the effort now to fit this into your life, and watch your life change before your eyes!
