I've unknowingly been doing most of the points in the book for the last few years and it has turned my career and life upside down [in a good way].- it's always good to see another Hoosier utilizing this great site!

I love my job and don't want to leave my career.

@Austin Youmans Where are you in your career now, and where do you plan to go?  

Personally, I believe it's a lot like jobs and careers. 

Yeah, those guys who do the long haul international flights are definitely at the pinnacle of the flying career... decent money, decent schedule, live wherever you want... the trifecta :-)

I'm 10 years into my Firefighting career and have a 457 as well. 

Not really into buy and hold at this stage of my career.

My goal is to eventually stop serving and make real estate investing a career I'll enjoy doing for the rest of my life!

They will appreciate your ongoing business and be happy to help research property options along your investing career.

A little background information of myself:1.)I just recently graduated from high school as an honor student who is working as an assistant manager/receptionist at a real estate firm.  2.)I have grown up participating in 6 sports(possibly irrelevant to this topic but hopefully providing you guys an impression/idea of me as well). 3.)As stated in the post subject, I am an 18 year old. 4.)I come from a family of self-employed business owners, doctors, engineers, and stock investor(s).5.)I'm quite the tech-savvy person 6.)I will be taking 13 credits of college courses at a community college in the fall semester I under this career demands a great deal of one's time but I am willing to sacrifice that time for this career by limiting my social outings.
