I did it several times but that was back during the crisis when lenders were being overwhelmed with properties they were taking back and didn’t really want any more, today is different.

Real estate has an 87% failure rate during normal times....with our current inventory crisis, it would be a very tough time to start frankly. 

I was climbing the ladder at work, and with limited time and making enough money to keep me complacent, put aside searching out multiple income streams or a side business.That is the pattern I’m sure with many people.Then as the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) was kicking in around 2009, the engineering and development industries were laying off management to “lighten the cargo” or “rightsize”, I became part of the statistic of people that lost their job during the GFC.
