What made you quit your job and go all in with Real Estate?

Hi Bp community! 

Just curious, when did you make the move to quit your job and why did you quit? Just wanted to hear your stories and the motivation behind your decision. Thanks everyone!

I quit my day job when my 2 year old baby girl told me she didn't want me to go to work one day.  She told me she missed me.  I was a single mom at the time, and it broke my heart.  I enrolled in RE school shortly thereafter and haven't looked back.

That 2 year old baby girl just turned 23 and is on her way to UC Davis to go to PA school and earn her masters degree......ahhh how the years have flown by!

Those are prescious moments you don't get back.  Going into RE gave me the ability to manage my own schedule and be home when my daughter left for school and home again when she got back.  It allowed us to travel when we wanted to throughout the Summers and over her school breaks (I didn't have to worry about how much PTO I had available).  We even took off and spent a Summer in Atlanta - the WHOLE Summer!  What great memories.

Thanks for the opportunity to reflect! :)
