I am also a second grade school teacher and father of three. 

My name is Brad, I am 26 years old and I am a middle school social studies teacher with absolutely no experience whatsoever in real estate.

About me....I am a full time teacher and have been doing some investing on the side for the past 6 years.

She's a pre-school teacher and asst. director at the Goddard School.  

The teachers used to stay until retirement but that is starting to go away.

I was a Special Education teacher working with kids with Aspergers.

However, I firmly believe that the best teacher is experience and am not afraid to get out there and get to work!

I dont know your qualifications, history or anything and some may think it is improper to advise such things not knowing the entire situation, BUT, experience is the best teacher and with mine working with clients as a real estate investment broker, I have yet to work with a client that could create the product that was asked of them, within the time that was outlined for them, within the budget that was set for them - all in all costing them big bucks in mortgage payments (not really that huge, but when its their only deal and they work a 9-5, it is kind of a big deal - get it?).

@guarava a. i did speak to someone yesterday, saying that there are still some hurdles to the  ybor stadium. they are short 260 million and asking the city to pony up the cash. how ever they promised a raise to teachers so dont have the funds for both. some are businesses are looking to see if they can fund or help fund the project.

Absolutely no mommy/daddy money, me and my husband both had to pay for college the wonderful way through student loans, I'm a financial analyst, he's a woodshop teacher at a local HS (yes, teacher!)
