 Del Wamsley offers some tips on a better lifestyle. I put $2,000 down out of my pocket to buy a house. It was 10% down, which was $2,500, $500 to closing costs, which was $3,000. But the tenant, before I moved in, the broker had leased the house, and he gave me at closing a check for $500 for the rent plus $500 for the security deposit. So I had $1,000. I only brought $2,000 to the table. That house today is worth over $150,000 in excess of $150,000.
