In no way did I feel like I was missing out by not having Dave as our teacher.

Also I want to be able to put my pride and ego to the side so I can become more of the student and listener versus the teacher and know it all.

I'll never forget what my RE teacher said to our class when we were getting our real estate licenses:  "Take a look around at everyone in this call (there were about 50 of us).  80% of you won't be in this business one year from now.

Again, not some imaginary date in the future).If a lowly paid teacher with $80,000 combined family w2 earned income can do this since investing in my first little 1br 1ba investment property in May of 2011, anyone can!!  

In some states, teacher salaries go up 50% based on nothing but tenure.
