Hi Everyone! Long time watcher here!

I don't think I gave an intro ever... 

I'm a mom of 3 boys and have been a real estate investor for a bit over 10 years. I wish I had done a thousand things differently in order to be like the successful people who are out here on bigger pockets, but at least I have always had food on the table. And that is something I owe in great part to real estate. 

I tend to be scared of risk and do things slower and safer, and as a result have missed out on potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

I am now trying to get into wholesaling as well as selling off a piece of land I have, ideally by owner financing to get that passive income coming in, but as long as I sell it, I'm happy. I have a hoarder house that I always wanted, but never knew what the struggle would be, I was, obviously expecting to find... buried treasure!... nope just 7 layers of carpeting and linoleum, ugh. 

We put in a gas furnace and have yet to sell the oil one. We haven't put central AC yet, but we probably will, and with 8 BEDROOMS, I have to let my creativity run wild!! 

We had our 3rd boy 6 months ago and he is great, but it was a difficult time and I hadn't been able to get back in the swing of things until recently. But now that I am back, I want to get to the point of being comfortable in my wealth, because my back is starting to hurt! LOL 

Okay, intro over. Thank you for reading!
