More About Peter Conti

I started out as an auto mechanic because that's what I had always been good at. Coming from a family of seven kids, I wasn't expected to amount to much. And for many years I bought into this concept of myself. Yet even during these times, a part of me hungered for more.

All the time I was working for $5.00 an hour as a mechanic, I paid attention to what successful people were doing. Again and again I heard stories about people who despite starting out with humble beginnings were able to create great wealth in real estate.

Sometimes things need to get bad enough for you before you decide to make a change. For me, this point came when I was working in an auto repair shop. It was winter and the owner had the heat turned down. He was trying to save money. It was so cold that I remember my fingers were so numb I could barely even work.

I looked over as the shop foreman came out of the office with a big, hot, steaming cup of hot coffee. It looked so good I grabbed a coffee mug out of my toolbox and went into the office. After finding the coffee pot, I poured myself a nice warm mug of coffee and then wrapped my hands around it to warm them up more than anything.

Just as I was walking back to work the owner came out of his office and looked at me said, "Peter, that coffee is for customers only!" I felt about two inches tall. But as bad as that felt it was a great moment for me.

I decided right then and there that I was never going to be dependent on someone else again for my livelihood. Never again would anyone have that kind of power over my financial life. I thank God things got that bad because if they hadn't, I might never have committed to changing my life.

I had always known that real estate was a great way to create both wealth and freedom. So I finally took the leap and began my investing career. In the beginning I scrimped and saved and bought every property I could.

At the same time I studied every book and tape program I could find. I went to every seminar I could afford. I continuously invested in myself and my real estate knowledge base. Every technique and strategy I learned and applied paid me back 1,000 times over.

I remember my first fixer-upper property. It was a broken down 3 bedroom house in a working class neighborhood. The windows were all broken, and the roof leaked so badly that the kitchen ceiling had fallen in. I had picked it up cheap and even gotten the owner to carry the financing.

When I added up all the repairs I thought the house would need I got scared. What if I couldn't make more than it would cost me to fix up the house? It really needed a lot of work! In the end I made a mistake. I sold out to another investor for $1,500. I felt good about this until I learned he had made about $30,000 on the deal.

If I had only been willing to admit that I needed some help I could have found someone who had more experience than me. Even if I had traded half of the profits in the deal in exchange for a mentor's expertise and guidance, I would have made $15,000 - ten times more money!

My next major hurdle came as my real estate portfolio grew too big. I soon began to realize that with each new property that I took on came more problems and responsibilities.

All those tenants in those properties were looking to me and my company to give care and attention to their homes. A few bad tenants left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I had to work so hard just to keep all of my properties running smoothly.

I found that it wasn't too long before I moved from being a real estate investor into a property manager. The problem with that was I was so caught up in the day-to-day management of my properties that I wasn't out there buying more!

Even when I got to the point where I hired other people to do the fix up work for me, I still spent most of my time overseeing their work and dealing with tenants. I was stuck in a spot that many investors who try to make it using traditional real estate investing methods find themselves.

I looked back over a two-year period and realized that I hadn't bought a single property in that time. My investing career had come to a standstill! I knew at that point that there had to be a better way to invest in real estate.

I spent several years looking for a better way to invest and to fine-tune this way into a money making system. This system was born out of my frustration with traditional real estate methods. It is now sort of "famous" as the way to invest in real estate without cash or credit.

You really can make a fortune investing in real estate without ever having to deal with tenants and toilets. You'll even be able to work the system part-time and still make big money.

You'll discover, as many of my students and I have, that not only will you be making more money, but you'll be creating a lifestyle where you have the freedom to spend time with your family doing the things you want to do.

This is so often overlooked by many wealth seekers, who realize after it's too late they've taken a wrong turn. They forget that true wealth is living a balanced life with the money, financial independence, free time, loving relationships, great health, and the ability to discover that God really does love you.

Can you imagine waking up each day and deciding when you wake up what you want to do that day? No more alarm clocks, no more dealing with your boss, no more rush hour traffic. Just time to pursue the life you've always wanted to live, and the time to go after your dreams.

This life is waiting for you right now. I've helped thousands of people learn to create wealth through real estate. I hope I can do the same for you too.

My best to you,

Peter Conti
