For those who have day jobs...What keeps you going?

[Vern M.]

Ok, so am getting into the Real estate industry as a way to achieve the financial freedom that I desire. 

But every week there is something that happens that reinforces my focus on my studies, searching redfin, reading books and walking properties in an effort to close my first deal. 

Last week it was the morning that I had to change out 2 toilets on the top floor of 2 separate town homes, then discovering a leak from the tub waste line in one unit, (which had been going on for a couple of weeks. the resident didn't call it in because she thought the carpet was wet due to humidity???) and later that afternoon, there was an breakin at another townhome @ 4:45pm so I had to rebuild the door frame just as I was leaving to go home.

That was last week, this week I've made another declaration," This is the last time I will shovel someone else's property!" The entire 4 hours I spent shoveling, I just kept going over calculations to evaluate properties. I am soooooooo done. Too much work is spent making other people, (and increasingly less appreciative people) rich.  

My Turn!
