This is my story about my quest for prosperity and success, the American Dream, through a real estate venture. While it all seemed easy at first, that was hardly the case. I found myself taking a huge financial risk. Many unforeseen reasons later, my plans went south and I ended up losing it all. With an immense amount of perseverance and determination, I managed to pull myself back up again, coming out of my misstep in a totally different direction, better than ever before. My hope is that my story will give those who read it hope and direction to overcome any adversity they may face on their own journey to prosperity and success.
