Real Estate investing sounded like a great idea. The main thing that attracted me to it was the freedom that I saw on those television programs. These people pretty much did what they wanted to do with their time. I was able to see that it wasn't the money that made it possible. They were smart.
I mentioned before that I disliked school. I do, however, love acquiring knowledge. I love to learn how things work. When I was younger, I took apart and put together pretty much any electronic device I could get my hands on. I made custom build stereos from old radio parts and mix matched speakers. I reassembled televisions parts and video game systems. In college, instead of going to class, I spent my time in the computer lab. I was designing personal pages on online chat communities. I self taught myself some basic and some advanced html programming. I was fascinated with what makes a web site work.
Watching the tele-home flippers in Springfield, IL, I was developing a new fascination. I know what it is now even though back then I lacked the vocabulary to recognize what is was. I was interested in how this particular business system worked.
I found some information on how to build a house for free and make a $100,000 on the internet. The information revolved mostly around how to create a corporate entity and build credit under it. I took what I felt I needed form the information and incorporated. The important thing that I was doing here was beginning my financial education in the best way for me to learn, which was hands-on.
