Dave Lawn had no knowledge of real estate investing in 1996. Tired of living paycheck to paycheck on a salary of less than $30,000 he searched for a way to obtain financial freedom and get out of the rat race. That search had explosive results Within three short years and starting with no money or credit, he accumulated a portfolio consisting of over 100 apartments valued then at over $6,000,000. Not wanting to write another 'How To' book on real estate, Dave decided to pull back the curtain and allow readers to see a firsthand account of how he found, financed, managed & sold so many properties. Presented more as an autobiography than an instruction manual, Dave gives a blow-by-blow account of his triumphs and failures. Written with humor & wit, The Real Estate Survivor will leave you inspired and motivated to fulfill your dreams Whatever your dreams may be, this book will have you telling yourself, 'If someone like him can do it, I'm sure I can too '
