@Joe Splitrock YES! I am all over the place, I know it feels crazy and pathetic at times. It's hard to focus on just ONE thing, but I know I can if I try. I'm just really feeling that "Leap of Faith" feeling the closer and closer I get, but the more I learn (And I learn every day, at least 1 Thing New), the easier the feelings get. I know it will take Long Term Commitment, trust me I do. Most of the reason I end up leaving jobs, is because I'm in the wrong industry, and I feel like EVERY DAY is a wasted, like "Ah! I should have spent today's time and energy on MY BUSINESS, not someone elses" then I psych myself out and go work somewhere else (telling myself it's only she term until we figure out what EXACTLY it is that we're going to do, like for US) So commitment and sacrifice I will GLADLY make especially if it's for MY bottom dollar, no doubt about it. It's just that I KNOW I Can do anything anybody else can, and it's like, if you think about it, and your like "They make HOW MUCH?" I can do what they do. As for the discipline, YES! I need it! At this point in my life I've come to a realization, that If you want to be a successful person, you must exhibit successful habits and behaviors, I am going to work to being more disciplined than I've ever been from budgeting money to Time Management and better sleep and fitness/nutrition habits. I think my whole family can benefit from more structure and discipline, and it's going to be a MUST when we are dealing with NO GUARANTEED paycheck and our OWN money only.
On a side note, When you say Property Manager, you mean like a Maintenance Man for an apartment complex ( Because don't they have to live ON PROPERTY? for 2am water leaks and stuff?)
My wife and I already have a house that's paid for, so there would be no need to live on property, and I just flat out wouldn't be able to, unless you meant something else completely, that I am unaware of. (?)
I've also been thinking about getting into Inspections and/or Appraisal, I know they me decent $$, As long as there's no conflict of Interest, it seems like it'd be a hell of a way to learn some very VERY valuable things about housing and laws, methods, uses, code etc. I actually just got back from a Property Tax Protest Hearing with the ARB Board of my County, and the people who were on the board as well the appraiser himself are very versed in a lot things like what things are worth and of course property values, and I thought "Man, any of these guys would make a HELL of an asset to a REI team, maybe I should look into so on and so forth" I'm sure some of them have their share of RE related businesses in one form or another. I am very aware of the risk, and trust me, I tread very cautiously, and have put up with SOME STUFF. STRAIGHT UP BOLOGNA, when it comes to jobs I've worked, and I took it, bc I didn't want to quit, and have that chance of not being able to provide. Talk about fear, try avoiding hard times with a family of 5 working a hourly job, wanting growth, not knowing what's coming next..Not wanting to be stuck, but afraid to MOVE. that's a fear I'm very familiar with.
Anyway, you comment hit me deep. Thank from everything, I've taken it all to heart. Thanks for your time
