With a small amount of savings, he acquired his first rental property.

Book Reviews:
"Matthew A. Martinez is a tycoon in the making."
CNN
“This is the success story of an ex-dot-com employee who got tired of working long hours at a great job for 10 years and watching his fellow workers lose their jobs. He accidentally discovered real estate's market-value appreciation, leverage, tax savings, cash flow, reliability and freedom from a 9-to-5 workday. In the process, he became a multimillionaire, and he shows readers how they can have the same result.”

"I found Matthew's book easy to read, helpful, and inspirational. Not only did he describe how to successfully got started in real estate but he also provided details on his experience in the rat race of corporate America and how he transformed his career. This is something most people can relate to which makes it appealing to many readers. He provides specifics like investment strategies, financing, and property management that helps those entering real estate investing."
Randy Matilla
"In spite of the inspirational title this is NOT a get rich quick infomercial style real estate scheme. You feel the author's pain as he describes the tenant who doubled his water bill filling up the neighbor's pool. Then he explains the micro-economics of how that increase in expense effects his property value. As a real estate broker with a good grasp of the market, I found that he does both an excellent job describing property investing fundamentals, but then applying them to specific properties. I highly recommend this book."
Benjamin Goodman
"This is a great book for anyone looking to start their real estate portfolio. The author tells the story of how he began his career as a real estate investor and moved away from working his 9-5 job. This is not a get rich quick book, but how one can work hard and create independent wealth."
