What are you other than a real estate investor?
It would be interesting to hear stories of what some of you did BEFORE discovering real estate;
Is your life dramatically different NOW? Will you or did you make it your goal to be a full-time investor? Does anyone rely solely on their ROI for income?
Thanks in advance for your submissions - Brandon

What spare time? :D
I'm a UT Sports fanatic and voracious reader of non-fiction finance books. I also like virtually any sporting activity or watching any sporting activity. Being a serial entrepreneur my hobbies, interests, and outside activities all kind of blend together. I enjoy starting new companies and trying to make them work.
