How Real Estate Has Changed My Life? How about you?

I used to be a full time teacher and school principal. That meant giving every bit of my days to my job. Before real estate, I got paid on the 1st and 15th of each month. I was even lucky enough to have a wife who works who also got paid on the 1st and 15th of each month. This went on for about 10 years. Then I got my first rental, and I more money on the 1st of the month each month. Then I got another rental.... and I got more money on the first of the month. Then I added more rentals, and sometimes people paid late, but I got money on the first of the month. Now I've got a portfolio of rentals, and rent literally comes in every business day of the month... it's the most life changing thing I've ever experienced. Here's how real estate has changed my life.

1) I receive checks at all different times of the month.

2) I have more income coming in than ever before.

3) I pay less of a tax rate than I ever have

4) My net worth goes up literally everyday.

5) I spend more time with my kids than I ever have...

6) I get to give to things that I'm passionate about

7) I love what I do everyday.

This is not a post to brag, It is a post to motivate..... How has real estate changed your life?
