Changing my career path

[Aaron Boatman]

Hello,

My name is Aaron and Ive been a firefighter for the past 11 years. Ive been overly diligent in doing all the typical forms of investing they tell you 457, IRA's, pension and buy a house. Luckily I've always bought homes where I figured if **** hit the fan I could probably rent it and cover my mortgage. I never put any further business thought in to my home purchases.

I decided to leave the Fire Service and be a stay at home parent, and let my wife go back to work.  It actually made financial sense!!  She is a travel nurse, her agency covers housing, travel and pays better than I made as Colorado Fireman.  We rented our homes in Arizona and Colorado and are putting a few bucks in our pocket every month.  

An alarm went off in my head saying your getting paid to let people live in your house....hmmmm.  Maybe you could actually put some business sense in to this and do this for a career change.  So insert books, blogs and podcast and I'm hooked that my next career will be in rental property.
