I didn't come from wealth. Raised by a single mother, I grew up in a crammed-up apartment in New York public housing. Surrounded by temptation and desperate ignorance, my only solution if we were ever going to have a fighting chance to change our lives was me joining the military.
So after serving in the Marines I was able to save some money and finally buy a home to move my family out of poverty and to sunny Florida.
And then a couple of years later... Just my luck....
The Bubble Popped! People were losing their homes and jobs left and right...and I was no exception. I had a little bit of life saving left to help keep us afloat for maybe 6 months at most. But if i didn't figure something out fast, we would
lose it all after finally realizing my life long dream!
Rockefeller once said "You make Money when there is blood in the streets." Even though I was feeling the blows, and the value of my home was disappearing into thin air so I could get out my mortgage, I knew there was money to be made from all these foreclosures.
So I did what any desperate person supporting their family, and hard charging Marine, would do...
I put my head down and charged forward, buying into all of these books, cd's, programs and Mentorships promising me the world...
And when the smoke cleared I was in more debt than when I had started... to over $50k besides my mortgage... with nothing to show for it...
All except a simple "business entity" these gurus advised we should all open up to run our future real estate investment through.
Little did I know that that one move would end up being my salvation and changing our lives forever...
