BALTIMORE, Nov. 15, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Many people go to work each day only to earn an income that leaves them with little to show for their efforts. Some dream of leaving the rat race... if only they could find a reliable means of income. Author Sandra Pearsall's new book, "Let Real Estate Work For You As It's Doing For Me" (now available through AuthorHouse), is the perfect guide for all those who seek a more satisfying way to make a living.
At 16, Pearsall was holding down two jobs. She did not complete high school and soon realized the hard way that true financial independence rarely comes from working for another. Her book is a concise and completely true revelation about how, by age 32, Pearsall had gone from an employee lost in the corporate void to the owner of nine rental properties. She explains in simple, conversational style how she was able to purchase houses with no money down as she learned the ins and outs of gaining financial freedom through real estate.
"The formula of working hard for money does not work," says Pearsall. "This is why so many people work all their lives and end up with nothing. The reason the rich get richer is because they know the formula... rich people don't work hard, they invest... Real estate is the key."
It is entirely possible to purchase a home with no money down, even with less than perfect credit, says Pearsall. She describes in detail what to look for in an investment property, and she outlines the procedures for making a successful offer. In addition, she provides tips on making repairs, and many chapters include before and after photos of her properties. Sample forms such as lease agreements are included as well in an effort to ease the reader's transition from employee to property owner.
A brief but informative guide packed with straightforward advice, "Let Real Estate Work For You As It's Doing For Me" is an invaluable resource for anyone who is ready to make a positive life change.
Pearsall is one of eight children who grew up in a household where money and food were always scarce. Determined to better herself, she became interested in real estate investing a few years ago and has since accomplished her goal of becoming financially independent. "When you invest and let your money work hard for you, life begins to look a little different," she says. Pearsall currently resides in Baltimore. "Let Real Estate Work For You As It's Doing For Me" is her first book.
