Took two washings with TSP solution, Kilz oil base primer and then two topcoats.

I used to work in the space program before going into oil and gas.

REAL ESTATE is an investment, just like precious metals, stocks, royalties, equipment, oil, gas, etc I assume you work for a company that only sells stocks and bonds thus the tunnel vision-not your fault.

We got together when I was 18 and she was 19 and spent our money freely and never budgeted for several years until we decided we wanted to settle down, start a family and start planning for our future.I was able through persistence and luck to secure a lucrative job in the oil field around the time our first child was born.

Finding properties, research and development, talking to our realtor, family time, date night, doctor appointments, work shifts, oil changes,  EVERYTHING. 

Nothing wrong with that but it sounds like "give a man a fish..." vs really learning about the many opportunities and variances of what can happen in RE deals and the challenges that come with that.
