Priceless Text- "I'm a Real Estate Investor"

[John Cleare]

I am a Real Estate Investor.

Of all of the occupations I have tried, researched, pondered, and read about over the years, there is none which compares to mine. My work is fun. I take ugly houses and make them beautiful. I help people out of difficult situations.

I am a Real Estate Investor. I am my own boss. I often work in my pajamas from the comfort of my home. I have no employees to baby sit, no perishable inventory to move, no franchise fees to pay, and no store to maintain. Still, I am in the top 5% of all income earners.

I am a Real Estate Investor. I now enjoy freedoms I’ve never had before. I am the master of my day. I choose who to work with. I choose my hours, and I decide if I will work 20 hours or 40 hours this week. I can also choose to take the day off, without obtaining anyone’s permission. I can take a month-long vacation. I can sleep in, or take a power nap after lunch if I want. I can review my notes and return my calls while lounging in my jacuzzi. I no longer have to commute during rush hour.

I have the freedom to spend lots of time with my wife and child. I do not have the stress and pressure of needing to close my next deal by the end of the week, by the end of this month, or even by the end of this year.

I live in one of the nicest neighborhoods, in one of the most beautiful states, in the best country that has ever existed on this Earth.

I am a Real Estate Investor. There are many who ‘want’ to be like me; many who are ‘studying’ to be like me; and many more who would be like me, but are just waiting for ‘this opportunity to appear’ or ‘that circumstance to change’… At the end of the day, very few actually are like me.

I have been very fortunate and blessed. I am finally living my dream. I love doing what I do, and I would not trade places with anyone, nor trade my life experiences for anyone else’s.

I am driven by the belief that life is short, and we need to ‘make a difference’ in the short time that we’re here, because after all is said and done, it’s really not about ‘us.’

I am a Real Estate Investor.

Ya I couldn't agree more....

Here's my list of reason for doing REI:

1) You can never get fired so you have permanent job security
2) You can work from home which has it's own huge set of advantages
3) You can set your own schedule, wake up when you want and work as many or few hours as you want.
4) You set your own pay
5) You're often earning as much or more than high power doctors and lawyers.
6) Once you have as little as 1 apartment building you likely have enough income to never have to work again if you don't want to.
7) As you continue to acquire rental properties your month cash flow rapidly goes up into the five figure range and eventually even six figures.
8) You can do a deal from almost anywhere in the world. Because you could be on vacation and still be researching properties on the mls and sending and receiving contracts via fax.
9) The job is easy to do. Far easier than most professions which require you to both retain tons of knowledge to do the job and then constant upgrading to keep your skills up to date. REI doesn't change much and there's not much you need to know to do it.
10) It puts you in the "I quadrant" which is the most lucrative quadrant you can be in.
11) You're odds of becoming a millionaire in less than 10 years of doing REI, if done consistently are virtually guaranteed. And if you're smart it could be done in as little as a couple years.
12) You're not making someone else rich. You're making yourself and your own family wealthy.
