Good real estate investors are like crack addicts.

Many of these people struggle with mental health and/or drug addiction.

Disclaimer:  This is the Vegas areaBeen spending a LOT of time (seriously, I may be addicted) looking at houses on several different sites and I am seeing more converted garages than I would have thought. 

Although I did obtain my broker's license in 1991, I fiddle-farted around while I worked at a corporate career that I hated, but didn't have the courage to quit, becoming addicted to a paycheck.

Lucky for us our girls are 11 and 17 and they don't complain at all, they are good girls I love them and my husband and I have patience.But all in all we don't mind it we actually have became addicted to flipping, if I have to do it again I will.Live in flippers is not for everyone, but you won't know if it's for you unless you try it.

You will be addicted soon.

We also hope to gradually get into buy and hold investment properties in the local area.I'm looking forward to learning a lot from what this great site has to offer - I'm already addicted to the podcasts!

I think you are mad even thinking giving up a 6 figure income to go into real estate, especially if you want to buy and hold.The biggest problem all of us building portfolios that aren't based on 100% debt is having a sizable income in the first place.Do not underestimate how much of an addiction buying property is, once you get past ten units you have it real bad, and then, that 6 figure income you walked away from didn't seem so bad after all.I'm a buy to own investor, I deal cash, I work during the summers in a completely different field to pay for our addiction.

After finding this site, I became addicted.  

I am also addicted to learning thank you all for your insight and well detailed mentorship.I look forward to hearing from you all,Devin
