Real Estate Investor Home

In June of 2006 and I was jobless and without career direction.  That summer, I spent a lot of time thinking of what I was to do next.  My ideal career path with the company that I selected as a first-choice since prior to college had failed me.  I worked various temporary jobs to keep the lights on.  With less than full-time, 40 hour work weeks and my night-owl tendencies, I was typically awake for countless infomercials which aired in the early morning hours.  The infomercials that really caught my eye were the famous Carleton Sheets and his No-Money Down real estate investing program and the InvesTools stock investing software.  One night while gazing at these commercials I had an epiphany, there were way too many ways to make money to seek building a pseudo-stable career with another company.  I had gone on to purchase the Carleton Sheets real estate and InvesTools stock investment programs.  After the review of each program, I soon discovered that I would need more education, especially in the Real Estate field.  I didn’t feel comfortable only knowing the information provided by Carleton Sheets, so enrolled in a Real Estate agent pre-licensure course and obtained an Illinois Real Estate sales agent license.  The license was obtained strictly for the education, I had no intentions of being counter-productive and starting a new career as a Realtor.  I also purchased a seat to attend a seminar series.

Now, I feel I'm armed with enough education to get started.  I am here to network with other investors and constantly continue to learn.
