Hey there Profiteers! Today’s episode is all about real estate, so take what you thought you know and put it to the side while you listen to this week’s episode! That’s right, in this episode with Chris Prefontaine, we’re talking how much money you need to get started with real estate (probably less than you expected) and how to improve your chances for success in real estate.
Also, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter (@EricProfits and @PersonalProfits) for all the latest from Personal Profitability – Chris and I enjoyed chatting so much that I’ll be on an upcoming episode of his podcast that you won’t want to miss.

What We’re Chatting About This Week
Welcome to episode 106 of the Personal Profitability Podcast! Did you also know I have a YouTube channel? It’s located at youtube.com/ericrosenberg and, while it doesn’t say Personal Profitability, I promise it does focus on personal finance! You can check out the YouTube channel here and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel so you can get an alert when I publish a video (hint: every Friday!).
Today, I’m welcoming a real estate expert from the East Coast named Chris Prefontaine. It turns out, Chris is so persuasive that I’m tempted to join his real estate program! This is a really great episode (as they all are!) but it’s extra fascinating because my family’s next “target” for investing is real estate. I learned a lot about real estate from this episode, and I think you will too!
Many people think you need a lot of money to invest in real estate, but it turns out you don’t actually need that. We’ll talk about what you do need for real estate, but definitely take a listen, especially if you’ve been interested in real estate but were intimidated by the amount of money you thought you needed to get started!
