Hey everyone! I'm new here and I really like what I've read so far. I'm from upstate NY. I'm finishing up a book I wrote on my life as an entrepreneur and what I've been through. I want to learn how to publish and promote it and this seems like a great place to learn.
I had made a million dollars before I was 30 years old. I started out with no money at all. I bought one shitty old house, fixed it up and sold it. I turned that into a real estate flipping business that I ended up running for over 15 years. I bought and sold over 500 properties. Most I bought and sold in the same day.
When the market crashed, The IRS came knocking. They accused me of forcing the houses on people that didn't want them. It was total bullshit. They forced me into signing a plea agreement or else go to jail for 10 years. I ended up serving 18 months in a Federal prison and lost everything. Now I'm on the rebound and more confident than ever that I can come back 10 times stronger.
This is just an overview if what happened. The story is really crazy. I look forward to getting to know you guys and hopefully I can help you avoid what happened to me and hopefully I can learn from you guys as well.
