About My Life & 1000 Houses

My Life & 1000 Houses 2 My Life & 1,000 Houses: Failing Forward to Financial Freedom by Mitch Stephen is an exhilarating autobiography of an amateur entrepreneur who stumbles upon the long standing revelations of business, money, love and life while struggling to find his own financial freedom. This journey eventually culminates into the purchase and sale of over 1,000 properties but make no mistake, this book is about falling down and getting back up.  As thought provoking as it is entertaining, this memoir and motivational story of self-empowerment will touch the gamut of your emotions; laugh and cry, but more importantly, be inspired to never give up.

Read the Excerpt!

That was the start of a relationship that covered hundreds of deals on the entire south, east and west side of San Antonio and beyond. Sam and I still reminisce when we travel together downtown. Every street evokes an image of some little house we used to own. More often than not we remember the ones that caused us the greatest heartburn. Our efforts combined, it’s almost impossible to find a street on which we’ve not paid a property tax.

One day, I was answering an advertisement that touted a great deal on a house. I met a young, energetic man at the property and we began to talk real estate. I don’t remember if I purchased that house from Sam Hombre or not, but I do remember this: We started talking and it didn’t end for four years. He asked me what I was doing to make money in real estate. I told him that I was buying houses on my credit cards, fixing them up, and then reselling them. I asked him what he was doing, and he told me he had limited funds, so he was tying properties up on a contract and then selling his position in the contracts to people like me who had the resources or ingenuity to buy them quickly with cash. I immediately recognized Sam’s modus operandi as a personal revelation and vice versa.

Here’s what critics are saying about My Life & 1000 Houses!

This review is from: My Life & 1,000 Houses: Failing Forward to Financial Freedom (Paperback)

One of the best, most honest and useful “how I did it” business books you can imagine. I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning reading it. Mitch is the real deal and you will WANT to read this book more than once. Not to mention it is incredibly engrossing and interesting. Thanks Mitch!

My Life & 1000 Houses – WOW!, August 7, 2010

By Shannon Bynes ( Fort Lauderdale , FL )

This review is from: My Life & 1,000 Houses: Failing Forward to Financial Freedom (Paperback)

This was one terrific book…My Life & 1000 Houses is an autobiography that details the life of Mitch Stephen , a very successful real estate entrepreneur from San Antonio , Texas who has purchased more than a thousand properties over the past 10 years. Do you think maybe he knows a little something about how to achieve financial freedom and perhaps a little bit about real estate? Yep, he does!

Three things I absolutely love about this book:
1. It is a phenomenal story of Mitch’s personal and business life — the good, the not so good, and the downright ugly
2. It provides a number of practical business and real estate investing tips and strategies
3. Stephen used the last ~150 pages of the book to share the most hilarious, sad, and inspiring stories from his real estate adventures

I highly recommend this book to anyone involved in real estate investing or anyone who desires to achieve financial freedom. You’ll be inspired by Mitch Stephen ‘s “My Life & 1000 Houses”.

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

This book is exactly what happens when you’re in the house flipping biz. I’m involved in this business everyday and it is refreshing to finally have a book out there showing some of the ugly, heartbreaking parts and not just the $90,000 dollar profit checks; Curious about investing in real estate? Wanna quit because you just got knocked down? Feel like a looser because everything you try crashes? Read this book.
