Why are you investing??

[Aaron Junck]

I come to think a lot of why people want to invest, particularly in RE.

I have "worked actively" since I was very young with selling candy on the bus to working at a carwash when I was legally able to, to building a couple businesses from the ground up. Its all the same. Go to work and do a J.O.B.

So I will tell you why I currently invest in real estate and plan to in a great magnitude. ---> Freedom. I want to get systems in place and to minimize my actual hands on and babysitting of other that go with an actual JOB.

I want to get to the point in the next few years (under 3) that I have the luxury, if I want, to surprise my son and pick him up from school.

To be able to go back to Maui for a few weeks if I wish.

To help other motivate and guide others that have no idea that they dont have to bust their butts from sun up to sun down just to get a paycheck and make it to the next.

To spend time with family even if it is sitting at the table and playing a card game.

I could go on forever, my point is my reason is to be able to enjoy life before it is gone.

What is your reason why you invest in Real Estate?
