I think I ran across this site a year or 2 ago, but never signed up apparently...I have been active on some other sites, but post volume has been down in some places, so here I am.

Looks like lots of the questions I like to spend 2c on...

I bought my first rental in 1999 and have been slowly increasing my portfolio since, with a couple reductions due to the crazy market in 05. I took a 5 yr hiatus from the JOB world and played a full time RE agent, mortgage broker and investor. I just returned to a full time JOB and love it. It feels like free money to me...All they seem to want me to do is show up for 40 hrs a week and money gets deposited into my account every 2 weeks. I realize now, that I can still list and sell houses and do my mortgage work along with my new JOB and still have time for my family. Plus no worries about day to day finances anymore...

Just keep plodding away and I will be in great shape in my declining years, when i can no longer work for a fee.

I hope to enjoy this site as much as the others...
