How I got into real estate

[Rosa] let me introduce myself. I am from queens. Used to (still do sometimes) drive stretch limousines, did that for 10 years. I used to work for 80-90 hrs a week. I used to think I will save money and i will be financially secure at one point. Invested some money in the meantime in real estate. Suddenly things started changing when I was involved in a motor vehicle accident while I was working. I was out of work for almost 1 month. No money came in. My boss used to show such a little income on the books that I could not get any money from insurance. My boss pulled me out on the road after 1 month (he is only interested in his business and all mighty dollars.) My knee injury got worse. Had to do surgery but it didn't really help. In november 2007, my right knee gave up and I fell. Now I've hurt both my knees. It was so bad. September 20th is my birthday. I had a very nice day.
