You have no idea what your possibilities are unless you see it. For me, it's important to expose as many young people as possible to change the narrative before credit is messed up, before you have all this debt. Later in life, you don’t have to go back and fix these things because you didn’t get exposure. You can make well-informed decisions from the start as a young person, as a teenager going into adulthood with a game plan in mind—a game-changing plan that will put you on the path to building generational wealth through real estate.” - Donna RogersConnect with Donna Rogers:Website: https://www.whogotthekeys.com/ Phone: (312) 276-5111Donna’s BOOK: https://www.whogotthekeys.com/?page_id=231 Connect with Dante Royster:Website: https://www.danteroyster.com/Epic Mortgage Website: Epic Mortgage, Inc.
