With this book Mitch takes the reader through his ride and incredible journey that has led to where he is today, a self made real estate success story. Mitch takes the reader deep into his mind set and shares his heart and soul, along with how HE got THERE, in a candid straight forward manner. He puts it all out there for the reader to learn what he has done and is currently doing to make it happen in the real estate market. This book should be required reading for all inspired real estate professionals looking for relevant information on how to make it with single family homes in today’s market. I will certainly be recommending “My Life and 1000 Houses” to our network. Mitch provides an “In the Trenches” point of view because he is in the trenches every day and he is the REAL Deal.

This is a “must read” book for readers at any level in the real estate business. Mr. Stephen’s book will inspire and motivate. He is living evidence that anyone can succeed, and succeed big in the real estate business. His common sense, street smart approach is entertaining as well as educational. I highly recommend it.

This was one terrific book…My Life & 1000 Houses is an autobiography that details the life of Mitch Stephen, a very successful real estate entrepreneur from San Antonio, Texas who has purchased more than a thousand properties over the past 10 years. Do you think maybe he knows a little something about how to achieve financial freedom and perhaps a little bit about real estate? Yep, he does!

Three things I absolutely love about this book:

1. It is a phenomenal story of Mitch’s personal and business life — the good, the not so good, and the downright ugly.

2. It provides a number of practical business and real estate investing tips and strategies.

3. Stephen used the last ~150 pages of the book to share the most hilarious, sad, and inspiring stories from his real estate adventures.

I have both the paperback and audio versions of Mr. Stephens books and have enjoyed both. I wanted to relay a quick story regarding my 15 year old daughter. On a recent trip, we were driving from our home in Florida to Atlanta. With six hours to spend in the car I put one of the audio disks in to play while I was driving. I gave my wife and daughter a quick review of the book as they found it funny that I was playing the disk (I never play audio books in the car) but I found Mitch’s story compelling and as a real estate investor, I am always looking for new and fresh ideas. I had already read the book and listened to the disks so I knew what was coming as we listened. What I didn’t realize was how closely my daughter was following Mitch’s story as we drove. I got to the end of the second or third disk but didn’t immediately change to the next one. There was a short moment of silence when I heard from the back seat ” What’s Mitch going to do next” My daughter, all of 15 years old, was completely enrolled in the story. It amazed me that she was getting what I experienced when I first read Mitch’s story, a very human and heart felt narrative of someone’s life. Yes, it’s about real estate but so much more. It is a great story that will make you laugh, cry, and look at real estate in a very personal way. It’s so good even a 15 year old enjoyed it. My Life & 1,000 Houses to its members.

I am an avid reader and lover of adventure stories, including books by Ernest Hemingway and Jack London. MY Life & 1000 Houses is absolutely as entertaining, engrossing and compelling as any adventure novel I have ever read. This book is much, much more than just a “how-to” manual about investing in real estate. I have never invested in real estate, know next to nothing about the subject, and still could not put the book down! I read the entire 400 page book in 3 days. My Life & 1,000 Houses to its members.

Mitch’s story of courage, determination and persistence in the face of personal and professional adversity is the stuff of legend, and at the very core of what makes America so great. It is equally poignant, triumphant, inspiring, and at times, laugh out loud funny.

As a relatively new bootstrap entrepreneur determined to be successful, even if I never invest in real estate, MY Life & 1000 Houses is a book I will refer to again and again. It contains the type of wisdom and common sense that every entrepreneur needs a healthy dose of.

Even if you are not in the real estate business, GET THIS BOOK and devour it!

This book is very entertaining as well as informative. Mr. Stephen presents some unusal real estate investment ideas! The CD which is included with the book has some great music on it as well. Mitch has created a unique concept by linking songs to chapters in the book. My Life & 1,000 Houses to its members.

So thrilled that I found this book. Could not have been a better fit for what I needed. I was amazed at how much this book was a story filled with so many helpful hints along the way. The uplifting guidance and lessons about perserverance and creative thinking are priceless. Everyone should read this book from the investor to the high school student just starting his journey.

I just finished My Life & 1000 Houses. The way it was written, It’s like you are setting in a room with Mitch and he is telling you his Story. All of the stories have something we can all relate to in are life one time or another. The Highs and the Lows. This book was written from the heart and it shows. Money does not make a man great, It’s what he has in his heart and soul.And the way he lives his life with humility. This is a GREAT Book. Thank You MitchMy Life & 1,000 Houses to its members.
