New to the Real Estate Realm
Hello! My name is Danny Patterson and I have been studying and reading up on real estate investing. I am a newcomer looking for a different way of life. My background is Army first then pursuing the diesel tech industry. Once I realized that this was no work to live past 60, starting from a young age, I started career jumping. From industrial maintenance to QA/QC inspecting in the welding field. At the age of 33 after becoming a inspector supervisor, and getting fired for a company that I dedicated my time and effort to make this company the best of the best, I mean 70+ hour work weeks, I was canned for nonsense. I was too busy trying to make a living by making someone else wealthy. Why can't I put that much effort into myself? Start investing in myself?! I am almost ashamed, now at 33, I just figured this out. Real estate is where it's at! I have done my research since I lost my job on the 1st of July. I am so confident in this type of investing that I have taken every 401K that I have put in throughout my years to invest. Now I need to surround myself with the experts, or the one's that have tried and failed. Learn from their mistakes. Make my own mistakes. I want out of this rat race I have been pursuing. I was taught to get a good job only to work for someone else, well guess what...? I don't want that anymore!! I am ready to break boundaries! Get out of my comfort zone and work for myself. If I can work just half as hard as I have for other people, I know I can pursue my dreams... Finally!
