Welcome Trashman nice to hear you have a very supportive wife by your side.

Sometimes you make $1 an hour and sometimes $10,000 an hour - that is fine as long as the deal can support it.

He gave me a lot of caveats but overall he was completely supportive of my endeavors.

It seems that the typical response to all of my questions for the Mac support line have been "you can't do that on a Mac".

I have no data to back up my opinion), I'll bet you would find that many who have made their fortunes in RE made it from appreciation, not cash flow.I'd love to hear thoughts on this and hopefully I qualified my comments enough to indicate that I don't believe on betting strictly on appreciation, especially if you can't support the property that you are buying with your reserves.

I want to be an investor and make enough money to support a family.

I agree with the others that quitting your day job is not a good idea unless your wife is willing to support you for a few years, while you get your business started.

Improving your math skills if they are not great is another key skill.Part-time work: Property management, construction, sales in a hardware store, almost any sales job where you are dealing with the public on a regular basis, working as a support person for a real estate agent who is very active (marketing, web support, etc), admin work for a mortgage broker.
