      Dedication

      To my parents, who are not around anymore to read this book. They would probably be surprised and excited about me writing this book.

      To my wonderful wife, Olivia, I am not sure how she has put up with me for 36 years.

      To my lovely daughter, Vijali, I did my best. I think you turned out to be the best.

      Acknowledgments

      During my real estate career over the last 40 years there are some people I would like to thank for their help. I have to attribute my success to the support of many wonderful people that have guided me, motivated me, inspired me and educated me during my real estate career.

      First of all, I would like to thank my parents who inspired and encouraged me to do anything that I aspired to.

      To my wife, Olivia, who has given me support throughout our 36 years of marriage. She has been supportive of all of my real estate ventures.

      I would like to thank Vijali Brown, who is not only an exceptional daughter, but was also the editor for this book. She is also the best property manager that I have had in all my years of real estate.

      I also want to thank Tabatha Romero. She has been my real estate partner for the last eight years and also a very close friend. I have had many partners in the last 40 years and she has been the best. Thank you for that.

      I would like to thank William Nickerson. He wrote the book How I turned $1000 into $1 million in real estate in my spare time. This is the first book I ever read on real estate and it’s super motivated me immediately. I immediately went out and bought a four unit building.

      I would like to thank J. T. Foxx for educating me in personal development. He is also one of my coaches.

      I would like to thank Scott Krone, Who works for the JT Fox company as a coach. He did a great job coaching me.

      I would like to thank Bill and Dwan Twyford for teaching me short sales.

      I would like to thank Gary DiGrazia, Sr. who taught me probates.

      I would like to thank Richard Roop who taught me how to invest correctly in Free and Clear properties. He also taught me how to raise capital.

      I would like to thank Dave Lindahl who taught me multi unit investing. Even though I had already been investing in Apartment buildings? for 20 years, he still taught me a lot more.

      I would like to thank Jimmy Napier and George Coats who taught me how to invest in debt.

      I would like to thank Jack Miller and Nick Sidoti who educated me on how to be a property manager. This is important. After you buy the property, you have to manage the property.

      I would like to thank Gary Prescott who taught me how to expand our mortgage office into a short sale office.

      I would like to thank Susan Lassiter-Lyons who taught me how to raise capital.

      I would like to thank Claire R Fox who taught me about syndications.

      I would like to thank John T. Reed for all his real estate books that I read.

      Last, but definitely not least, I would like to thank Mike Schindelheim who does the videotaping of all our projects. He is also the editor of the videos, without him, we would have no videos!
