Today, I want to talk about how to invest in real estate with no money….. or very little money.

Now… If you’ve listened to my podcast or read my book you’ll have heard me say that if you’re willing to do what other people are willing to do you’ll be a success. I’ll give you a couple other examples of that in a minute.
