I’m a middle school math and science teacher but am looking to build wealth through real estate because we all know it’s not going to happen through teaching.

But, since then, the idea of having passive income has fascinated me.

I'm about a month or so out from 48, so getting to "my number" in residual cashflow is obviously important to me, but I'm also fascinated by the potential repositioning has on building net wealth.

@Peter RoehrichVery interesting question, thought I may take a stab at trying to answer it using some data science. 

I've also been reading Chad Carson's Retire Early With Real Estate and am fascinated by the concepts and stories of other real estate investors.At the beginning of 2016 I took control of my finances and aggressively paid my way out of $25k worth of credit card and student loan debt (huge "thank you" to the Personal Finance subreddit for being a fantastic resource).

It is not rocket science or medicine or anything like that.

I'm studying computer science to become a Software Engineer (or wherever the degree takes me).Short BackgroundSo I've been really interested in real estate for about 1 year now.

I thought the macro-economics lesson was fascinating at the time and now it’s even more timely since we just experienced out inverted yield curve last week.  

Storage is not rocket science by any stretch but if you are new to this, it might be advisable to master that before adding to the complexity.

This is not rocket science it is one of the most basic and simple businesses around.
