I have an Associates degree in medical assisting. It's sad to say that I was in high debt for this degree but I can't keep beating myself for it. I graduated in 2001 and continued to be in the healthcare field until now. 16 years later, after several times in attempting to get my BS degree, after having 3 children, I did not finish. Priorities have changed and thankfully, I was introduced to Real Estate Investing. It was like "love at first sight." I finally found a career that I wanted to stick with and actually had passion for. The field that I've been in for the last 16 years has helped me understand people from every walk of life. Having discerned the good ones from the bad ones and learning how to deal with the bad ones. Training others played a big role in my field. I see all of this as great experience and leverage to be successful in my Real Estate business as a great landlord. I need 20 units making at least $200 cash flow each unit to equal what I'm making now at my day job. Planning to quit my 9-5 when this happens. I'm currently fixing my finances and absorbing the education. It has already been a heck of a ride for me doing this but I know it'll be worth it. Once I build momentum, my BP family would be the first to know about my success stories. Wishing you all success!

Jay Hinrichs totally agree! Hi Jay! 👋🏾

Kyle Grimm I meant BP SHOW #92 for Brandon Turner's story :)

Kyle Grimm BP SHOW #90 is Brandon Turner's story :)

I work in admin at a hospital for the X-Ray department and have been in this field since 2001. As I'm working my day job, I'm currently working on a plan to execute in leaving this place. I realized a couple of years ago that I'm done working for somebody else. Thankfully, I've been able to acquire a massive amount of skills in the field that I'm in to use as leverage for my RE business. I'm looking forward to that jump and sharing my story on BP. Right now, I'm soaking up as much education as I can, fixing my finances, building my team and networking with other investors. It's been a great experience so far. :)

@Roy Benson Hi Roy, I'm almost in a similar situation currently recovering from a horrible financial history so i feel for your ex bro inlaw. I agree with @Brian Garrett about partnering up with someone that can help fund the down payment.  My hubby is a GC and we're in the works of executing our fix and flip business. I've learned through the BP community that i could borrow from my 403b retirement fund as another source of funding my investment which i'm currently working on also.  I suggest you search the forums for creative financing discussions. There is so much information that i know will help regarding your situation.

Good luck to you and your ex bro inlaw!
