I hate to kick a dead horse, but as a newbie...

I'm really looking into getting out of the rat race and have come to the conclusion that RE is the way out because it's a proven method.

Am also stuck in the 'rat race' as Robert Kiyosaki puts it in his book, Rich Dad Poor Dad.

I work full time right now in the rat race.  

I was 30 when I got out of the race and was able to cover my overhead with passive income.  

So often people put the cart in front of the horse, they market the hell out of their website, to find that their website isn't converting those leads - what a waste of money.

. $5000 2BR rentals will drop significantly in rent, but your work horse $3000 rentals, eh, they will be much more stable.

Hello, I currently have a day job with W2 income, but like many others here that have already taken the leap or have plans to, I would like to free myself from the rat race somewhere down the line.  

What an exciting learning adventure---my heart was racing, I was on the edge of my chair . . . wanted to see what the next episode would bring!
