Buy or inherit and hold all their lives while working the properties for income.I've seen teachers, firemen, software engineers and all sorts of people utilize both strategies successfully.

Taking time to write out a plan, instead of being handed one; self discipline as opposed to having a set of tasks done before my next check in with the "teacher." are probably equally effective if you take two people with the same level of motivation each prepared to invest the same dollar resources in their venture. 

Experience is a great teacher, thank you for sharing.

Maybe you could be more in a managerial or teacher role to others that need guidance in that specific work you have done in the past.

It's just I came into this with a background as a classroom teacher and high-stakes language exam coach and I really didn't understand the immense help that my experience managing the student-teacher relationship has given me in learning how to manage the landlord-tenant relationship.I also had no clue how much of a leg up that same experience had taught me to deal on a personal basis with public officials such as magistrates, code enforcement officials, court clerks, and of course law enforcement officials, here in PA most notably our state constables.The last thing that really helped has nothing to do with me.

We were caught in the Rat Race, me working as a Physical Therapist and my wife as a teacher until our 2nd child came along, and we did the math and found that 2/3 of her take home income would go towards child care.

I am a teacher currently looking to learn about investing and how to do it all.
