I know my journey will probably be long and hard but I haven't felt this passionate about anything like this in my life, so I'm ready for the challenges and rewards. 

Always had a passion for real estate and hope to finally make the leap into it.

That sounds like awesome goals and its great that it aligns with your passions. 

I'm an at-home Mom who is turning her passion for fixing things into the  new career and the extra income and lunch money I need.  

Originally hailing from the Midwest (MI), and with a successful background in outside sales, real estate has always fascinated me, and I've finally decided to not waste another day and begin following my passion.

Investing has become a passionate hobby of mine which naturally led me to real estate.

You can even search/connect with other investors on the BiggerPockets website.A true "mentor" will teach you about your market and the business because they have a passion for real estate - they will not want your money.

Stay motivated and passionate.

I have an enormous passion for entrepreneurship, making money on my own, investing, which is why I decided to join the BP Forums. 

I'm  really interested to know how long have your been real estate Investor and what inspired you to get started even though starting from my perspective can seem quite scary and intimidating not that I am going to let that stop me but you get my point  :D  I already feel so excited and passionate to learn as much as possible as well as connecting and keep in contact with like minded investor I am very happy that there is a site like this out there.
