Elena went from a single mother on food stamps waiting for housing assistance to buying a home with a pool and garage. She credits Dean Graziosi's forum and its members for restoring her confidence enough to make it happen.
Four years ago, I was a single mom on welfare. Well, no, I wasn't on welfare anymore. I was on access and I was getting food stamps. But I was also on the waiting list for section 8. And although I worked and I played music on the weekends, every weekend, I still could not afford to pay more than $450 in rent. What started me on my real estate venture was I had always had an interest in real estate. I worked for realtors. And I kept asking them, what's this no money down stuff? They all told me it was a scam, was impossible, couldn't be done. When I found your forum and I saw all the stories and heard Anita's and just met the people there, it just gave me the confidence that I needed back for one, and it motivated me again to get out there and do what I need to do. I never would have dreamed that I would ever be a homeowner. It was not in my vocabulary. It was not in my vision. As far as I was concerned, I thought I was going to be a renter forever stuck in the system and working till I died. And it's funny because the house has so many things that little extras that just kind of put the icing on the cake. Like, it's got a pool. I've always wanted a house of the pool. It's got a sprinkler system in the front, a misting system in the little patio outside in the back, and it's got a garage with the, you know, little garage door opener. And it's just the house of my dreams. I never, ever thought I would rent or have a house like this, let alone own one, so. But anyways, I just want to thank you for this opportunity that you've given me. Thank you for the gift. Thanks for the little flip camera. We've had so much fun with it since you sent it to us. And just thanks for being an inspiration.
