A group of professionals who embrace the philosophy of Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Our goal is to educate ourselves and our community in financial literacy. It is through such education that we can achieve Financial Freedom. All who have read the book are welcome to attend our monthly meetings. It's FREE. All that we ask is whatever you learn you share and try to help someone else achieve financial freedom. Don't worry ... we've heard it all before:

Duane Harden, a native of Savannah, GA, graduated from Boston University with a BS in Computer Engineering. He later went on to get his MS degree in Technology Management from Stevens Institute of Technology.
Realizing that he wanted to expand his income as a Engineer at UPS, he began his real estate investing career in 2001. He quickly learned several techniques and acquired single family investment properties. He mastered the technique of buying and financing HUD, VA, bank, and tax lien foreclosures. However, as his portfolio grew he found it became more difficult to obtain the financing he desired. He then decided to seek a position in a mortgage company so he can learn the ins and outs of creative financing with of course the objective to structure better financing for his own deals. Thus, in 2003 he was hired as a Loan Consultant with Washington Mutual. As part of his love for real estate and the satisfaction of assisting First Time Homebuyers achieve the American dream of home ownership, he found a more philanthropic calling. He began this business networking group based on the teachings of Robert Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. The group has grown from its initial three (3) members in 2003 to now over 400 members. He leads the group in a once a month meeting teaching concepts to achieve financial freedom through real estate investments, businesses, and paper assets. Today, he is the owner of a mortgage brokerage company Harlem Funding Corp. Has recently purchased a 101-unit apartment complex in Oklahoma and is in the process of writing his first book to teach even more people about real estate investing. |
