Unplanned Career in Real Estate

[Eric S.]

In the latter part of last year I executed a very large 1031 exchange and I am now the owner of a number of real estate properties. The properties are all owned free and clear and the income from them has proven to be life altering as I am now able to pursue a personal desire to become a teacher. I am currently unemployed, as I am studying for various standardized tests for grad school, but if I wanted to further pursue growing my real estate holdings what sort of options might some of you use?  I'm just curious. 

Any responses you have are appreciated. 

Thank you in advance.
