My Life & 1,000 Houses: Failing Forward to Financial Freedom

This autobiographical tale is perfect for entrepreneurs and a must-read for anyone aspiring to be a real estate investor. Beginning with a handful of credit cards, he mastered the art of the purchase and sale of single and multi-family residences, small commercial properties, manufactured homes, raw land and lots, and eventually was honored by the San Antonio Real Estate Investors Association. Combining commonsense, experience and technology, he merges real estate and Internet marketing. With fifty one informative chapters, including an eye-opening introduction to “Adversity University,” and powerful food for thought in “Escaping the Debt Trap” and “The Moat Theory: Keep Something Sacred,” this book provides insight far beyond deal making. In the second half of the book, he delivers eighteen anecdotes such as “So What Can a Dollar Buy?” and “The Art of War,” stories about real life in the real estate trenches. You simply can’t make this stuff up. While everyone’s struggles are different, you are sure to connect with the author’s tumultuous and rewarding journey. You don’t need a college class ring to be a success but a successful person’s education never ends. Continue your education on a deeper level and read the book My Life and 1,000 Houses.

5So much more than a book about entrepreneurship  Nov 13, 2009
While I was inspired by the author's "out of the box" thinking and entrepreneurial tenacity, I was surprised at how entertaining and touching of a story he reveals in this book. We learn of Mitch's rural upbringing in Texas and ride along with he and his family through their journey of struggles, victories and their lives as decent hard working people. The themes run the gamut of family, love, joy, humor, depression, addiction, loss, human nature and the clear message that winning at business does not always mean getting the best of someone else. After reading this book it is hard not to walk away with an expanded perception of success and a renewed energy to go after your own goals.

5Everybody Should this Book !!!!!  Oct 11, 2009
I just finished My Life & 1000 Houses. The way it was written, It's like you are setting in a room with Mitch and he is telling you his Story. All of the stories have something we can all relate to in are life one time or another. The Highs and the Lows. This book was written from the heart and it shows. Money does not make a man great, It's what he has in his heart and soul.And the way he lives his life with humility. This is a GREAT Book. Thank You Mitch

5Texas Warmth, Humor and Business Acumen  Jul 22, 2009
My Life & 1,000 Houses: Failing Forward to Financial Freedom

Rarely do you get an author who shares his innermost thoughts and being and puts it all to music. Mitch shares his stories with a sense of real Texas warmth and humor. But what makes the book so great is, in these stories are wonderful lessons to be learned on living and enjoying life while making great money buying and selling real estate. This is a great read!
