Hi all!

Just needing a little motivation for the beg. of the week. I was just wondering if people are willing to share their level or education or what kind of full time job (if not real estate) that they have and their level of success with real estate.

of course if you make a lot more money, its easily to play with properties, but I want to hear about the 30 year old plumbers who own and manage 30 properties on the side, etc.

Personally I just graduated Washington University in St.Louis with a dual major in finance and accounting and now I'm working at wells fargo as a trader. I started investing this year and now hold 6 properties, but I feel like I'm behind....so many people seem to be getting 10-20 properties a year and its depressing me.

so lets hear it! show me what can be accomplished!
