I will try to do this in cliffs. I live in a very inexpensive blue collar town and travel for work.

Current income 40-50k per year.

In one year I have properties netting $1000 a month

I have a down payment for one-two more ready.

I was thinking of quitting my job and becoming a radiology tech. Simply for Job Security and better benefits. After studying for the last month I have decided against it. I really do not see myself doing a job like that, which is why i did not attend college in the first place.

I am 25... in 3 years I will go to school full time and use a part time job and my rental income to survive.

OR I keep working my day job and invest that, plus my income from the rental properties.

The way I see it, in 3 years I will have several more cheap homes with 2500-3000 net income per month, plus a day job that I like or tolerate.

To me I would regret not staying on track with my investments more than I would regret not going school.

Anyone else done the same? Most do not understand my thought process.

Thanks,

Chase
