Do you truly LOVE what you do - or is real estate a job?
Are you in Real Estate because you are driven by passion, or is it something you do because you are good at it or because of the profit potential? Is it a way to make money and a means to something else or outright passion of yours? Why are you in the real estate busines? Has that reason changed over the years?
This was an interesting topic that started in another investment group I am in. It was insightful and learned quite a bit. It is amazing and powerful to learn from others. So I wanted to hear from bigger pockets members.
