We have been in real estate (long-term rentals) for over 20 years now and looking forward to hanging up the maintenance hat.

It’s awesome to see you starting your real estate journey so early, congrats.

Quote from @Stacey Wells: Hey everyone,I’ve been researching different funding options for real estate investments and business expansion.

If we include investments in mortgage loans (trust deeds), real estate partnerships, REITs as well as direct property ownership, I’m at about 80%.  

I want to work my way into anything full time because I have a decent job now but eventually i want to have real estate/construction replace my income. 

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

I would like to start connecting with lenders, attorneys, realtors, title companies, and all other professional in the SATX commercial real estate market.  

I would visit local meetups for real estate investing, and also network with agents in your area that work with a lot of investors.

It's just not opting out of being a real estate investor.
