My Introduction to Real Estate Investing

Before leaving on a ship to the Persian Gulf, heading off to war, we had several hours to kill in San Diego, California. We were about to board the USS Tripoli for an undisclosed length of time. It was 1992 and I was an ambitious 21 year old US Marine.

I had a chance to stop in a book store where I found the book Creating Wealth by Robert Allen; this was my first introduction to the exciting world of real estate investment. I remember finishing the book in my bunk bed the night the US invaded Iraq on January 14, 1992. About 50 of my platoon mates and I watched as President Bush Senior announced the invasion over the television; I remember not sleeping a wink that night.

My First Real Estate Deal

When I returned from the war and exited the Marine Corps with honorable discharge, my best friend Scott Edwards and I pursued our first real estate deal. We had no clue what we were doing and didnt have Google at our fingertips to find out how. We also had no clue that the US was in a deep real estate recession. Still, we were excited, ambitious, willing to learn and to take action. We found an 8-unit apartment complex for sale in Scottsdale through an ad in the newspaper.

It was listed For Sale by Owner by a gentleman who lived on site. We met with him and we agreed to purchase the property for $250,000. The seller would allow us to wrap the mortgage with a $20,000 down payment. With our savings and borrowed money from Scotts father, we purchased the property. We didnt do due diligence, or a cash flow analysis or even a home inspection. We were young and naive but we successfully completed our first real estate deal. I was only 22 years old.

A Path in a Different Direction

From 1993 to 2003 I wasnt involved in real estate at all. Instead, I was an independent contractor for a successful sales and marketing company that promoted and sold green products. I ended up opening several offices for the company and became a national sales trainer, teaching success and motivation to thousands of people across the country. This was an amazing time for me. I was single (for a short time), made a ton of money, and was traveling around the US inspiring people to stretch their minds and personal limits to achieve success. During this time I met Angela, we married in 1996 and have been happily married ever since. The parent company I worked with had some major issues so I decided I would leave and take on what I had loved since that first 8-unit apartment complex Real Estate.

Getting Back in the Game

It was April, 2003 and I decided to take up real estate investing again but this time on a full-time basis. I remember listening to 1510 KFNN (a financial talk radio station based in Phoenix) to a guy selling a no money down real estate course where you didnt need cash or credit. I turned the dial, thinking it was too good to be true, but something brought me back and I heard him out. I ended up ordering the $500 course and devoured it in a single weekend. The information was extremely out-dated but the concept seemed plausible.

The idea he presented was this: tie-up properties under contract in pre-foreclosure and flip the property for a profit using a double escrow. The method started with getting a list of pre-foreclosures, then knocking on the delinquent homeowners door and offering to purchase their home for cash. I had no idea if it would work, but I gave it a shot. I must say, it wasnt easy ! One thing youll learn about me is that Im relentless when it comes to figuring stuff out. If there was just one person that was able to do what I wanted to do, then I wouldnt sleep until I could do it successfully myself. I went all out! I got my list and mapped out where these houses were and knocked on 30 doors a day. Like I said, it wasnt easy. The first couple houses were the worst.

My First Day Finding Pre-Foreclosures

I had my list in hand and Napoleon Hills Think and Grow Rich tape playing in my car. I circled my first pre-foreclosure house about 10 times before stopping two doors down. There were 3 big trucks in the drive way and the place was in shambles.

I contemplated leaving several times, but I was bound and determined to get the 1 st one under my belt. So I slowly walked up to the door as I played the script of what I was going to say in my mind. I knocked on the screen door; a grizzly man with a tattoo on his chest opened the door and asked, What the hell do you want? I froze, literally. I couldnt say a thing! My tongue seemed like it was the size of a banana. I mumbled like an idiot for about 2 minutes as the guy looked at me with concern. Are you alright? he grimaced. I turned quickly and speed walked to my car and drove off as fast as I could. Wow this sucks, I thought!
