I did not go back to school, few understand.
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

There are many forms of education and you are communicating to us through one now that is probably overlooked by many.
I also passed on an MBA to focus on real estate, it felt right and deep down I knew it was my path.
I have millionaire friends without any college degrees, they have focused a large amount of time and effort on education but not in a typical classroom.
