I'm giving a High School presentation on Real Estate.
I'm emphasizing Real Estate Investing to Attain Self Sufficiency and Financial Freedom. Here's my flyer. It's worth a read.

I just LEASED this one. A hardworking young couple bought this orange county beauty a few years back and are now earning and enjoying the passive income that it provides. Terrific! Good for them!

My best Real Estate advice is to Buy, Rehab, Rent, Repeat. And IF/WHEN the market takes off, YOU take off with it. SELL! Take your profit and move on. Buy another property or pay off a mortgage or two. Enjoy earning double digit rental returns and/or pay off your primary home, then enjoy the peace and security of your mortgage free properties. OWNING is the ultimate goal - THEN you can relax and be the successful investor, profiteer, man about town, bon vivant that is you!

Okay friends, I'm good for another four years. It's no secret that real estate investing makes millionaires, or maybe just for self reliance and financially security. That feels good too. It takes some time and effort, but it happens. You can do it. I can help. Check out Homownership.com too.

IN ESCROW as a Dual Agent on this fine coastal property in Encinitas. Everyone wins in this one! The smart Seller is getting a good price, while releasing it to the Buyer with room to improve and increase its value. Good for all!

SOLD! Own Your Owns have their difficulty, but with good Cap Rates and great Return On Investment, they're well worth the trouble. This is my 6th one - earning an 83% ROI. They may not be fanciful and fabulous, but they get the job done. This one is paying off our MCM house - which IS sorta fabulous. “Buy Real Estate. Take Care of it, and IT will take care of YOU!"
