Nokwazi
Johannesburg South Africa
I already have a two bedroomed, 1 bath flat that I was hoping to have as an investment when my husband and I got married. The reason I'm saying I was hoping to have my flat as an investment is because, while I am renting it out to a young family, they are not paying rent. The rent which is already R2000 less than what I pay at the end of every month as the bond/mortgage and rates. I suppose I got a bad deal there. However I must point out, while I have somehow not succeeded with this first investment I am pushing ahead, looking at another property, this time I'm wiser looking for something that will put something in my pocket, instead of taking out. Thanks Kim I absolutely live by your book "Rich Woman". I dream of moving into the supermarket franchise industry when the right time comes and if I play my cards right, the cash will be flowing in properly, despite the current economic conditions.

I did my first deal on June 2, 2009. 3 bedroom house for $19,500 in Akron, OH. Tax valuation is $74,000. Homes in area are selling for about $60,000 right now. Paid cash - this was a foreclosure. House is near the university my son is attending and he is staying in the house instead of dorms (savings of $8000K per year!) Will get monthly rent from his two roomates. The boys will have reduced rent in exchange for working on the house. Repairs are mostly cosmetic. Will probably put about $10,000 total in the house (new windows and minor repairs). Cash flow will be about $150 per month plus the savings from not paying for the dorm! Hope to aquire another property in the spring of 2010.

Emily 
Los Angeles, CA, USA
I am so excited to share!  The day after I received this email I bought my first vending machine!  My husband and I had been researching investments for around 6 months and after we did the numbers we expect to be making 100% ROI in our first year, maybe even better!  I have a low interest credit card (6%) and we charged it to that (OPM).  We decided if it does go well, in about two months we will put together a business plan and buy 10 more with a bank loan.  I cannot tell you how liberating this feels to have finally acted upon all that I have been learning about being financially free!  What is better, my husband is on board!  It is so great to feel the support of a wonderful husband and partner!  Thanks for letting me be a part of this.

I bought my first 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home in the outer areas of Melbourne Australia.

Over the next 18 months my husband and I went on to buy 30 of these small 3x1 or similar family homes. Fantastic learning journey and very profitable.

Gloria Taft
Shepherdsville, KY
I was a single mom. My parents purchased a house, and I was buying it from them. When I got married, the house was too small. I rented it to some friends and that turned into a land contract. I knew I could do that again. I went house hunting. Found a ugly, unkept, unmowed and cheap house. I purchased it for $15,000.00. Hired my kids, parents and sister to help mow, clean and paint. My husband and a friend put up gutters and downspouts and a new porch roof (2 8' fiberglass panels). With lots of elbow grease and prayer we completed the project. Refinanced the house 3 weeks later for $45,000.00. After paying all bills for reconstruction I made about $20,000. I reinvested it and now have 6 properties.
