Giveaway #1: Book: Rich Dad Poor Dad

December 14, 2009 by Scott Costello 13 Comments
Tweet

RichDadPoorDadEven though I’ve got some great stuff to give away I wanted to start off with what started me off into real estate investing.  I read this book on my Honeymoon two and a half years ago and I’ve been sold on REI ever since.  This is a must read for new investors, old investors or just anyone wanting to change their lives.  It won’t give you a step by step on how to invest, but it will change the way you think about money.  It will make you think how a millionaire thinks.

Here is the Amazon description of the book…

Rich Dad, Poor Dad chronicles the story of the authors two dads, his own father, who wa the superintendent of education in Hawaii and who ended up dying penniless and his best friends father who dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. Kiyosaki uses the story of these two men and their varying financial strategies to illustrate the need for a new financial paradigm in order to achieve financial success in the new millennium.

 1 Copy: Subject2 e-Book by Nick Johnson (curtesy of Nick Johnson)


I hear from them every day people who are afraid to get into real estate investing because they’ve been told it’s scary, complicated, and way too risky. The simple truth is that real estate investing is exciting, simple, and no more risky than driving down the street. (Like the old saying goes, don’t believe everything you hear One thing you’ve heard is true: real estate investing can make you tons of money. Yes, things can happen that you need to be prepared for, but it’s rare if you know what you’re doing. That’s the key. You can do it just as easily as I do, and make just as much money The bottom line is: you can easily learn do it and make thousands, or tens of thousands, of dollars per month with just a little work. I can show you exactly how to do it, from beginning to end, and help you every step of the way. I do Subject To investing, also known as Sub2 or Sub’ing. This type of investing is very flexible and fits most homeowner situations.

The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success.

And so one day, desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman.

    Wondering if this DisqUs commenting system is hard to comment with. If nobody comments, I'll just include this in another days giveaway.

    For those who have commented, is it a pain?

    I made a slight rule change and will not announce the winners until December 23rd instead of the day after. This way it'll give people more of a chance to see everything and comment. If all else fails I'll just give the book as a secondary prize on another day or just combine Your Book and RDPD along with some others I have as sort of a “Starters” Kit…haha what ya think?
