Immigrant Entrepreneur: Eddie Garcia

Eddie traveled on foot from Mexico with his older brother and his father when he was 5 years old. He had no idea what was going on, and was totally oblivious to the fact that his dad carried their clothes in zip loc bags. On that journey, that came in handy! When they crossed the sewer water, they had to change their clothes and that's when his dad whipped out fresh clothes out of the zip loc bags.

He was on track to be an employee and his dad always pushed him to become an entrepreneur. His dad always knew that Eddie had so much more potential than being stuck at a job.

So when Eddie told his dad he was going to drop out of college, his dad made him promise that he was going to become a millionaire by the age of 30.

Without any real plans he got into real estate, by accident. Now, Eddie holds one of the most successful real estate companies in Chicago and he runs his company from day 1 all with cash flow - absolutely no mortgage loans, and no bank loans!
