I got caught in the downdraft of a market shift and have about $100K of my cash sitting in a property.

The demographic shifted when the economy dived.

I study at nights as much as I can (I work night shift) and will be driving for dollars on my days off.

Currently I'm working full-time, raising two toddlers while working opposite shifts from my wife and getting into real estate investing.

Now that my "nest" is almost empty, my focus has shifted to working toward making REI my primary income producer.

The problem is that property management has become trendy since the economic shifts over the last few years and many property managers are actually realtors or one-stop shop real estate investors.

English litt, might help you write compelling marketing materials to find good properties; Anthropology may allow you to understand different cultural shifts in the housing markets; history could teach a lot of market timings in Real Estate.I studies Electrical Engineering and Economics, neither of which gives me advantages in Real Estate.

I just think you shouldn't go into it thinking you are going to save (or make) money, because at best it just shifts costs. 

This is a big shift from even 4 months ago.
