RE investors with humble origins?

Calling all underdog RE investors.

If you got into real estate because you were an engineer, lawyer, doctor, or otherwise have large amounts of discretionary income, that's cool, but I want to hear from the unlikely heroes out there: the dark horses, the longshots, the defiant ones who found success despite everyone's expectations to the contrary.

Are you an average person whose desire for more in life has helped you to overcome huge obstacles?

Did you drop out of school but never stopped learning?

Did you decide that a dead end job wasn't good enough anymore?

Has your path to real estate success been anything but "conventional"?

I want to hear from those who struggled, failed, tried again, pulled themselves forward, and made it through to the other side. Please share your story, lend us inspiration as we dig deep to get that first big break, that first great investment, that next one or even that last one.
