I blogged about this on Tax Loopholes a few days ago, but now I have a picture too!  Here’s the short version. 

This past Saturday I spoke at Derek Jarr’s Live Free Seminar.  www.livefreeinvestmentgroup.com  He has a brilliant formula for bringing real estate agents, investors and deal makers together.  For everyone who has gone to a seminar and then said, “Now what?”, Derek’s seminar is the answer.  He has the team already in place to help you at the critical points where many people just can’t bridge the gap between learning and action.  

He also has a huge heart.  It show in his business, his business relationships and the integrity with which he runs his business.  That’s why I’m happy to talk at his seminars.  

I also blogged about how my son David spoke about his charity.  We adopted David 3 1/2 years ago from a Mexican orphanage. He knows what it means to feel unwanted and abandoned and have promises broken again and again.  That’s why it hurt me so badly when he recently had a promise to his charity broken.   As others have pointed out, that’s part of a life lesson for him.  But, I’m a a bit of a mama bear here - especially when I hear people bragging about what they’ve done and I know the truth.

BUT this is not about that.  This about someone I DO respect and who teaches about investing in real estate in a way that brings REAL results in an honorable way.  I had a lot of fun teaching about the brand new things about real estate taxes and then Derek brought my son up to talk about his charity and show the video he had made.

He then presented him with a check, a REALLY big check.
