I was reading a book called "Nothing Down." It's a pretty controversial book - some people think it's the worst book about real estate ever while others refer to it as the Real Estate Bible. I thought it was OK, but what I loved was the beginning part about making your game plan. It's the best thing I took from the book, and it helped me make this:



Game Plan:

I’ll graduate High School in January 2009 and then attend a community college while living in a dorm. I’ll continue to read and study about entrepreneurship and real estate while playing the guitar/drums. I will transfer after one or two years from community college to Babson College, USC, or Loyola Marymount for entrepreneurship or New York University for Real Estate (currently undecided).

During the end of my high school year and all four of my college years, I’ll launch numerous online business ventures. My goal is to build my $4,000 savings account into something larger. Not necessarily “financially free” larger, but large enough for me to begin real estate investing when I graduate college.

My goal is that I can leave college without having to get a job. I know I have the option to move back with my parents if necessary, but I’d like to be a full-time real estate investor when I am 22. The success of my e-businesses will be the deciding factor if I have to go in the work force and they will also determine what type of real estate I can begin investing in.

I’d like to build my real estate portfolio while I’m out of college and work my way up, progressively buying larger real estate properties. Ever since I visited Mohegan Sun, I’ve had a childhood dream of running a Hotel/Casino Resort. I also have a dream of living in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. My goal is to build enough monthly passive income so regardless of any business/real estate transactions I make, I will be able to live comfortably with whatever I do.

Once I have established enough monthly passive income to live on my own after college, I will begin to work on my band. My vision is to have a band similar to The Beatle’s diversity that no modern band possesses today. The band’s influence will derived from Hard Rock (Led Zeppelin, Boston, AC/DC, Nirvana), Piano Rock (Paul McCartney, Billy Joel), Acoustic Rock (Jack Johnson), Southern Rock (CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd), Jam Band (Moe), Modern Alternative (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns n Roses), Art Rock (Pink Floyd, The Who), Blues Rock (Allman Brothers, Hendrix), and of course The Beatles. I plan on being the band’s songwriter/guitarist and possibly a studio drummer. I plan on reinvesting money that I earn from real estate into the band by purchasing good equipment and possibly hiring already well known members in the music industry for the band. The band will go after listeners that are not tended to by modern rock music. There are millions of young fans that listen to rock music from the ‘60s and ‘70s because modern rock is entirely commercial. Basically, no matter how successful the band becomes it will not be seen on MTV or play at the VMA’s. ;)

To summarize, I plan on using e-business as a way to build enough income for real estate investing. I’m trying my best during my earlier years now so I don’t have to get a job when I graduate college. I’d like to be able to travel around to different places with a constant, steady income stream from my properties. I might even make a kickass band :yourock:
