I haven't been on in a while and thought I'd share some of my progress. Long story short I quit my gov. job 3 months ago. I've had 3 jobs over the past 5 years when my brother and I began this REI journey.

 I was a bartender, gov. employee (with full bens and pension) and a wholesaler (no bens and no pension) Make that 5 jobs if you throw in husband and dad ;)  In the past 2 years my brother and I have stepped it up and sold over 2 dozen wholesale deals from North Jersey to South Jersey and rehabbed 4 and just closed on another already re-listed and closing on 2 more next month. In addition I was able to pay off all my personal debt. All with a baby boy about to turn 1 (my brother has a 8 month old baby girl as well). Built a ton of relationships along the way and had MANY, MANY ups and downs with more to come I'm sure.

Anyway not posting to brag but just putting it out there that as long as you put the time in and never ever give up, anything is possible.
