So what has allowed me create financial success for myself? Real Estate!

Today I want to start digging into how real estate has allowed me to create financial success for not only myself but also many other investors.

When I was just twenty four years old a friend of mine sent me a book called ―Rich Dad, Poor Dad (by Robert Kiyosaki) and that sparked my interest in real estate investing. At the time I was trading my time for money as an apprentice pipe-fitter,  I was making pretty good money and trying to put some of it away – but it was tough to save diligently.

This was even more true when the love of my life, Tricia told me that she was pregnant with our first son (we now have three).

With what I learned from the book, as well as some good advice from a friend, I bought two rental properties as well as our own first home. Then one day on the dreary drive to work, I had a life-changing ah-ha‘ moment that I will always remember.

I thought to myself ―If I could just hold onto these three properties for 25 years, I would be able to retire early at the age of 50 and have a million dollars in equity as well as enough cash flow to bring in at least $60,000 per year to live on.

The properties would be free and clear and cashflowing like crazy. At that point I realized that I‘d stumbled upon a very good thing. I was hooked on this idea of buying properties and holding on to them for the long term. I decided to focus on buying residential properties (single family homes and apartment buildings) and I chose Grande Prairie as the market to buy in.

After some initial trial and error, I quickly developed my own unique niche‘...providing FURNISHED rentals (or as I like to call them, ―Super Suites). By adding furniture to a rental unit, I was able to generate 2-3 times the PROFIT compared to the same property being unfurnished. Thanks to investing in real estate, by age 27 I was able to quit my high-paying pipefitter j.o.b. and

become a full-time real estate entrepreneur and stay-at-home dad.

Since then, together with my investor partners, I‘ve created a multi-million dollar portfolio of over 70 rental units. My partners enjoy an above- average return on their money, along with a major growth in their net-worth. Not only has real estate investing allowed me to create our dream life-style for my family and I, but it‘s also helping my investor partners to enjoy profits today, as well as long-term wealth. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I‘ve enjoyed working on it. When you are ready to
