Hello everyone, I'm super excited to finally be submerged in real estate. Just to give a slight background of who I am: my name is schneider and I am a real estate investor as of January 9th 2017. So prior to become an investor, I was a car salesman at Toyota direct. I worked there for 2.5 years. I loved the people I worked with and selling cars was definitely fun as hell! Lol. About a year into my career as a car salesman my wife wanted to get into sales as well so she decided to become a real estate agent march of 2016. I guess you could say that was my entrance in to real estate since now I can see what happens on a day to day basis. And it seemed really exciting . Finally the last 6 months I've been on biggerpockets, going to some local meetings and met a mentor (who I am currently working with now) I finally decided it's time to jump! So as of January 9th, I saved up a good chunk of money and decided to take a leap at wholesaling. It hasn't been a month yet and I've got co-workers and family members looking at me like I've made the biggest mistake of my life and I will be back to working at the dealership again. For anyone seeking to take the leap, here's some advice: THE DOUBTERS, the haters, will be someone close to you. Be very prepared to stand your ground with courage and faith. I don't plan to look back, as much as I love working at the car dealership. My true purpose is to finally be in control of my life, I decide to make the rules! Working at a job was never something I enjoyed and I am the happiest person in the world since I've made my choice. I know it's not going to be easy, but I have faith in myself , my work ethic , and my determination to succeed. And I strongly believe that can take you anywhere. Sorry for the motivations spiel! But thanks for reading! Hopefully we can all work together. Looking to grow with all of you! Thank you, Schneider Lincifort
