I'm currently a teacher and after realizing that my 1-2% yearly pay raise will never give me any financial freedom I've finally found the thing I think that ultimately could if gone about the right way. 

That being said, HUD has a "Good neighbor Next Door" Program where they allow Teachers/Police/Fire/EMS to purchase at a discounted rate (50% of asking) as long as they live there for a couple years.

We are a community of families, doctors, teachers, professionals, business owners, and we stick together in the hardest of times (remember most recently the Oct 1 shooting #VegasStrong).

I agree that experience is the best teacher but I'm not sure what I'd be missing out on by not doing business locally. 

FYI- My wife and I are both teachers in NC and make about 40k each.

I am currently a school teacher working full time during the day and part-time building my RE business.

I presently have more rentals than I have fingers and toes, and no, I'm not shop teacher (wink). 

I have been working as a teacher for over a year.

An ideal agent would be someone who enjoys working with a first time home buyer, who has the heart of a teacher, and who is familiar with investing strategies.

My husband is a high school football coach and English teacher.
