Married, kids, jobs, mortgage, and curious about REI...

I have been poking around BP for about a year now, hemming and hawing about what my future investment options are. While I am new to real estate investing and still educating myself on the concept, I have been intrigued by it time and time again from the podcasts, personal stories I read, and the wealth of knowledge answering questions I search for before actually asking.

My question however stems from my personal situation. I would love to hear some stories and experiences from individuals who have decided to pursue this either as an alternative career, or simply supportive to their already existing financial situation. For example, someone who is married, have kids, full-time jobs, and perhaps a little disposable income. I would appreciate hearing what motivated you to pursue REI and how you were able to go about it, despite the time commitments in the home.

Perhaps this could even be a topic for a future podcast...

Thanks!
