About the Book
Reader beware! This book and author may appear to be incongruities. But is it so strange that the same person should assume the role as both real estate investor and a public school teacher? To escape retirement on welfare and starting with nothing I describe how I was able to build equity of well over several million dollars while continuing to teach public school. Happily I was rewarded with the privilege of teaching children for 30 years and my classroom adventures are included within these pages. Then it is wrong to praise freedom in our free enterprise system while deploring the status of so many teachers whose classroom lives and ability to teach are “ground out” by the dictatorial policies of the educational bureaucracy? On the contrary I believe it is imperative that the truth be told for the good of us all. These are my memoirs.
About the Author
It seems that fate was kind to me in selecting the directory of my studies and experience that enabled me to succeed in the profession of teaching and my career of real estate investment. During 30 years of service as secondary teacher in Los Angeles I was assigned to the following different neighborhoods: 1. Disadvantaged area where the student body consisted primarily of minority students -2. Typical middle-class area of “Americana” -3. Economically advantaged area in on of highest rated income areas in Los Angeles. Many experience included: Chairman of English and social studies—Assigned classes denoted as remedial, average and gifted – On several occasions I was invited to lecture ar UCLA to demonstrate my teaching activities I had used with “noted” success – Supervising training teacher for students from UCLA – Assigned to junior high, senior high and adult education classes. College background included: AA from UCLA—B.A. from U C Berkeley—master’s degree from USC etc.— In addition to the academic record above I passed the California State real estate examination and for 50 years I’ve been licensed as a Real Estate Broker. Although I obtained experience as an active real estate broker my main goal was building a personal portfolio or income producing property.
