What was your regular day time job while you started acquiring properties?

[Samuel Coronado]

I started flipping mobile homes when I was 18. I worked in a furniture factory 12-16 hours a day in the summer and then went to the project after getting off work to work another 4 hours. It was a heck of a time, but part of the reason I am ahead of the curve now at 30. Most of my adult life has been spent in the military, but now I am out. Just curious what other people did while in the building phase before jumping off the regular 9-5.

@Samuel Coronado I work 3rd shift and have for the past 15 years as an overnight awake counselor for a group home with about 8 clients. The first home I worked at for 4 years there were 20 clients and I worked by myself then the second place there were between 3-8 depending on which house I was at and now I’ve got 8.

I have a few chores and I occasionally give a little medication but usually I have about 8 of my 10 hours to myself to do whatever I want on my shift. It’s been great for my real estate.

I’m getting ready in the next 3 weeks to go full time to real estate. Yay!
