I'm a biochemist by education but a computer geek by profession. I help small businesses choose and use personal computers in exchange for $ per hour. I'm successful but I have to work all the time.
About the time that Dean started in real estate I looked into it too. I read some books and bought some tapes and then bought a $300 program by a trainer who shall remain nameless, and I sent it back within the 30 day refund period and told my wife, "it's deceiving, it's predatory, and if that's what I have to do to be successful in real estate then forget it".
But recently I saw one of Dean's incredibly uplifting infomercials. I couldn't believe the difference. "This guy's for real", I told my wife as I ordered the books, signed up at the website and a month later signed up at the Academy.
This guy's for real, and his way of investing in real estate is honest, friendly, and generous.
I remember reading somewhere along the way, "If you want to be successful, find successful people and do what they do".
Dean is one super successful person I want to pattern myself after. Dean IS the man.
