He has over 45 years experience in real estate investment. He has spent at least 20 years fixing-up rundown houses. He says he currently manages two hundred investment houses that he rents. In 1980, Mr. DeCima quit his 23 year telephone job to pursue real estate investing full time.

DeCima looks like the real mccoy, who lives up to his good-boy image. $800 does sound like a lot of money to spend on learning how to sweat, but it's a lot less than many gurus charge for boot camps. People have some great things to say about his books, which give down to earth advice. When he suggests not using computers to track costs or analyze data, he becomes very 20th century.
