It is funny that some of the things that you enjoyed as a child you end up enjoying as an adult.  Take Saturday afternoons for example – as a child my father would drive us around looking at real estate.  He would talk about which homes would be a good investment, and we would even stop at open houses when time permitted.  Though I didn’t think of those outings much at the time, they would become the first real estate investment training of my life.

Now, many years later and a few real estate investment training programs later, I spend most of my Saturdays looking at real estate, looking for the next investment.  For some this might sound boring and tedious, but I think of it as a treasure hunt.  There are still some really good deals out there, and provided that I am looking for them, chances are that I will stumble upon them.

I just hope that when I have children of my own that I can teach them how something as simple as taking a drive on a Saturday can be the start of their financial freedom.  I realize now that my father was preparing me for my adult life, and for that, I am truly thankful.
