Leighton's Story
Life is really an adventure because you never know where you are going to end up from where you start out.
Life has changed lots for me over the years as I have grown older. I remember that one of my highschool teachers once said that if you could look ahead 10 years into the future at yourself you would be frightened and amazed at how much your life has changed. I have to agree with that.
I always knew that one day I wanted to work for myself but I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do.
At one time I thought that it would be something in the computer field since I really liked working with computers. After being in the computer field for many years I learned that fixing broken computers is not what I wanted to do the rest of my life.
One day I heard a seminar guru talk about how you could "get rich quick" with real estate. After going to his free seminar I was amazed at what...Expand for more
I learned.
After lots of reading and research I opened my own real estate investment company and I have never looked back. I do make a good income at it but it is work. The difference is that I now have control over my own destiny.
The best way that I could describe what I do is "I buy houses from people who cannot sell them and I sell houses to people who cannot buy them."
I have learned that I can get what I want in life by first helping other people get what they want.
I like being able to make deals that everyone else walks away from. I have helped families that were turned down for a mortgage and no real estate agent would help them and I got them into the home of their dreams. I have even seen several families break down and cry because they were the first
in their family to get away from renting.
I am truely grateful that I found my calling.
Life is truely wonderful.
