Sick of Trucking and Missing Time with My Kids

Hi All, I'm 45, from Detroit. In my life, I've sold real estate, mortgages, painting services, replacement windows, and insurance. When the market crashed, I gave up sales work and got my CDL. Trucking is good, steady work, but the drawbacks are huge: truckers die young and we never see our kids. I want off this roller coaster, and I think real estate will be my path to something better. I also have a sellable product for other investors in my area (I still have contacts in the window/door industry) but that's a topic for another forum. I'm looking forward to learning the information on this site and choosing my path to freedom. Hopefully I'll also make a few good friends and contacts along the way. Pax
