In my situation, my wife will be a retired teacher by June 1ST @ 52.

@Frank Rolfe from www.mobilehomeuniversity.com is the leading teacher on this investment class and his website has a great forum and resources you can purchase to answer all your questions.

@Billy Mehlinger When I was training to be a hot air balloon pilot and the weather was bad not allowing flight my teacher asked me "Would you rather be on the ground wishing to fly or be flying and  wishing you were on the ground because of a problem".   

I feel good having an exit strategy from my work as a public school teacher.

Even though she logically understood that $450 was better than buying a house with foundation and water problems, the emotional part of her was upset because she had spent years saving for the downpayment and now she just "wasted" 3% of that fund.When I took the real estate agent classes I vividly remember a story told by one of the teachers.

I’m a 25 year old teacher from NYC who’s interested in starting to invest in properties, specifically multi families and as of now I’m looking in Cleveland Ohio and other towns in Ohio.

Teachers, nurses and grad students often refer other qualified friends in the same fields to become new tenants.If everything is running according to plan (an you are keeping your contingency/replacement funds growing to deal with the occasional emergency) I'd suggest you think long and hard before selling or trading this known entity for the next unknown one.Good luck.

My husband had a lot of experience in construction starting out though, but google can be a wonderful teacher. 

-And more of a general thing but if you are hiring and expert get one who has the heart of a teacher.

We just had a baby and my wife is working part-time as a substitute teacher.
