1. Start Young

2. Real Estate is a Long Term Wealth Building Tool

3. Five Years Per Property

4. Don’t start crying

5. It won’t work on me

6. Go try your mother

7. We’re here for 5 years

8. or

9. At least 30% appreciation

10. So why Start Young?

11. 2008 2013 $50,000 Goes In $100,000 Comes Out Usually

12. $50,000 In $100,000 Out 2008 2013

13. Which is the same as:

14. $50,000 In $50,000 Out $50,000 Out 2008 2013

15. Did that make sense? ($100,000 = $50,000+$50,000)

16. Good.

17. Now Repeat

18. $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 2008 2013 2018

20. 2018 Where will you be in 10 years?

21. $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 2008 2013 2018

22. $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $50,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 2008 2013 2018

23. 2018 With $400,000 Cash

24. 2018 And you’ll still have 7 properties that cash-flow

25. Rocky Mountains?

26. Sailing in Scotland?

27. The Vatican Museums?

28. The Key is:

29. Cash Flow

30. So you make it through whatever happens

31. Until the Market does this

32. Until the Market does this Which seldom takes more than:

33. Five Years

34. So Start Now!

35. Really

36. Because now you’re just clicking for the heck of it

37. Perhaps to see where I’ll put this text next

38. Maybe

39. Or you’re watching this on slideshare

40. And you’re looking at the wee numbers in the bottom right to see just how long I can go on. Maybe there’s an Easter Egg hiding at the end.

41. Or you’re waiting for me to sell you something

42. I did make Jell-O yesterday

43. And you can have some if you want

44. But I don’t have a house to sell you

45. And I’m not really after your money

46. But I do try to help other become successful

47. By writing about my experiences

48. And providing tips, tools, and commentary on stuff
