“You Won’t Find Treasure on a Well Traveled Path”  is a quote I heard many years ago that has always stuck with me and guided me and my style of real estate investing.  If you consistently go where everyone else is going, then you’ll only be left to pick up the scraps and bits and pieces that are left behind by all those who are going before you.  If you want to really excel and find great fortunes, ...

Who Are You?
