Telling people what I do for a living

[Daniel Bennison]

I struggle with telling people what I do. This stems from I've sold houses as a Realtor for years and I wish I was better at getting seller clients. The reality is that house flipping is much more lucrative and profitable for me, but I still like listing houses for sellers. I also am a landlord with several properties. When people ask me what I do, I tell them that, "I sell houses, flip houses, and rent them out, pretty much anything having to do with houses". I want to cringe every time I say it and that is usually the end of the conversation with what I do for a living. I'm wondering if there is a better way to describe what I do or to answer the question, "what do you do for a living"? I don't really care for the PC term of rehabbing or renovating a property and I think I would sound pretentious if I tell people I'm a residential property re-developer.  Anyone else in my field struggle with this question?
