International Wealth Success (IWS) was founded in 1967 to publish books and periodicals and assist both beginner and experienced wealth builders. Mr. Ty Hicks was inspired to begin his career in real estate when working for a large corporation. He saw people being fired for unjustified reasons and decided he needed another source of income. Real estate was a manageable pursuit in his spare time. He was able to spend considerably less than 40 hours a week to make a profit. He continued earning a regular paycheck, but now he had a plan to fall back on.

Ty believes that secondary income is powerful money because it is not already spoken for by car payments, mortgages, etc. It is more potent than a paycheck, there is more you can do with it and the possible tax advantages to having a second income in the real estate market are abundant.

Hicks thinks that the most important quality necessary to be successful in real estate is that you must have the interest, the desire. You should enjoy the pursuit. Be a go-getter, you may sway a seller to make a better deal. If someone is enthusiastic and stimulated by the process it shows them to be a reliable buyer.
