And keep your chosen profession. 

What some may, or may not know is that the largest percentage of my time spent working in my profession, is contributing to the BP forums.

Many successful Investors started working in another profession.  

I think a person’s mental willpower, tenacity, and determination is something that’s not discussed enough, but is the unsung hero in most professions.

Naturally, in higher income professions, where one is you making over $100/hour in your day job, you start to wonder if the struggle to make an extra $100-300/month per door as a landlord is really worth the headache and time invested.

It is not a few bad apples, it is a profession that attracts bad apples.

Quote from @Alon Attias: Hi guysMy profession is a contractor and project manager but i live in California.Im new to the BRRRR and i would like to start investing my first property in Cleveland, Ohio. 

@Mike SchorahI am not a realtor but there are a lotOf professions that require a license.

Disclaimer: I don't profess to be an expert on Cleveland or Ohio real estate markets but I do have several years of experience funding commercial multifamily loans throughout the region. 

Which means me with my PhD at the end of my career made 25% less than a journeyman in your profession.
