Introduction to My New Book - Building a Financial Fortress: Getting Started in Real Estate Investing
I just finished writing the introduction to my next book:
“It takes money to make money.” How many times have you heard that? While it’s true that many investment opportunities require a significant amount of up-front cash (and real estate is certainly one of them), why let that stop you? There are other rationalizations for not wanting to invest in real estate:
• I don’t want to be a landlord
• I don’t want to fix light bulbs and toilets
• It’s too risky
• It’s too complicated
I had many of these same thoughts about 10 years ago, when I bought my first investment property. Because I knew that investing in real estate is the best way to build wealth over time, I had to overcome each one through self-motivation, self-education and developing a real estate investing strategy that met a few important requirements:
• Minimize up-front cash investment required, because I didn’t have much to start with
• Minimize cost of ownership of the property
• Find a good property in a good location with potential for appreciation
• Achieve positive cash flow
• Reduce risk
The most important requirement for me was to have fun and enjoy the process of becoming a real estate investor. Life is too short to not enjoy what you are doing, especially if it will require some effort on your part.
In this book, I will walk you through the process of identifying, purchasing, owning and selling investment real property and my “lessons learned.” I will also explain the system that I used to achieve my investment objectives outlined above.
After reading this book, you should be able to move forward confidently with your own program to invest in real estate and grow your wealth and cash flow!

How To Build A Financial Fortress
"Real estate investing, even on a very small scale, remains a tried and true means of building an individual's cash flow and wealth."
Robert Kiyosaki
