I met Dave Ramsey. Agree and Disagree...

Back around 2013 at a Mardel's in Oklahoma City I ran into Dave Ramsey. Before 2013 I had heard of Dave Ramsey and listed to his radio show for several years off and on. I don't agree with everything he says and a lot of it is common sense that I talk about and half a million other people talk about.

Now, this is an area I've been interested in for a long time and I haven't taken the dive to get my Real Estate License...yet! I spoke with some local real estate businesses and looked over my own information since becoming a landlord. After making money in stocks, I advocate that the next step should involve something with real estate. Out of thousands of people, I interviewed the ones that have a net worth over a million are involved in real estate. What is amazing is that you don't have to go to college. Of course, you should check your state's requirements for becoming a real estate agent or a broker. This is my state of Oklahoma's REC www.ok.gov/OREC/ If you are interested in becoming an agent or broker then I would like to point you to this
