I joined Bigger Pockets in the hopes to connect with like minded individuals who would like to mentor and or just overall help one another so that everyone can be confident and achieve the best possible outcome as we embark on this Journey of investing. 

Do you have a nice amount saved up for the activities you enjoy(I assume yes given a 30+ year in Tech plus you mentioning making lots of money already in real estate).If that is the case, what are you looking to achieve now within real estate?

It seems I would need to submit around 100 offers just to achieve a potential engagement of 2% to 5%, with no guarantee of closing any deals.Thank you for your response, I definitely appreciate it.
