If you have been following my blog, this is just a tutorial about a question I receive often, namely how I became involved in real estate investment. Here, I go over why I started to look for real estate, what circumstances took me to the realization that this investment strategy really works, and how I decided the income from real estate would be a great alternative to working full time.

You’ll get a little bit better idea of the mindset that brought me to the point of making the first leap into making real estate income my primary income stream, but only at “affordable” and comfortable prices .Maybe we have something in common. Enjoy.

    Love it! Heard you on the BiggerPockets podcast and had to look you up.
    You are doing exactly what I’ve been planning on. It’s comforting to see
    that its working out for someone already. Thank you for your time and
    effort to let us all know that it’s out there you just have to make a move.
    Cant wait to listen to the rest of your videos.

    Hello Lisa! : ) After reading the book of Robert T. Kiyosaki “Rich Dad,
    Poor Dad”. Inspired me to invest in real estate. I am currently residing in
    Orange County, CA.
    I have so many questions. You seem like a real honest person.

    You call it savy, i call it giant balls girl. You have that spark that so
    many dont. Risk can be minimised but never completely removed and fear
    holds them back. You do it and thats what will make you great.

    I think after watching this video that I’m definitely a follower. I plan to
    consistently watch your other videos. I need to know this stuff if I’m ever
    going to enjoy the success and freedom that you currently experience. You
    learn from your experiences, make intelligent choices, and grow in the
    process. You are a good teacher and I look forward to what I can learn from
    you. Thank you so much!

    Hey this was a great video, it just helps in terms of confidence. Hearing
    your story makes it all seem like a reality that’s not far off. I haven’t
    read the comments so forgive me if Im asking a question that was already
    answered. Where and or what websites do you find these properties on? Again
    thanks for breathing life into the dream.

    I really am inspired by your videos and while real estate had always been a
    passion on mine my fears took over so I never really ventured fully into
    the business as I am now since I ran across your videos. Thanks so much for
    the information and motivation. I have signed up to your website and look
    forward to learning a whole lot more.
