After reading and identifying with the book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki in 2001, Mr. Samuel Weaver knew that he had to make some major changes in his life. As an educated man, he had already begun his great career as an educator in the public school system, though he knew that the path of the employee would limit him to the amount of freedom and wealth that he could accumulate for himself and his young family. After exploring areas of small business, finance, and real estate, he found his passion in real estate investing. Early on he struggled to figure out the mystery of the business, but caught a lucky break along the way. He was introduced to his first mentor by chance and held on tight as they purchased hundreds of properties inside and outside of California creating cash flow opportunities for themselves and other investors. Mr. Weaver credits this mentor who taught him the art of negotiation and the sales process.
