@Mark Hughes Great advice Mark!

Welcome to the BiggerPockets family @Tracey Anthony!

For more info check out Mark Kohler on you tube he is an attorney and cpa.  

I had great work ethic, and im extremely intelligent, but without college, I became a tradesman, had to work my a$$ off to save money, and now I'm 41, still working in that same trade, and I wasnt able to scale nearly as quickly as I would have had I stayed in school, get my accounting degree (my major at the time I left), and got a high paying job.I'm not saying that it cant be done, and I wish you all of the thick in the world, but for every Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, there are a million of me.

@Mark Bascetta 20 years is a long time.

@Anthony Thompson thank you for the feedback, that was very helpful.

@Mark FriesAgreed mark if I had to hire management and on top of that everything else hired out I would be upside down as well...

@Mark Sewell I might just do that!  

I thought it was interesting, they are not interesting in making some money on material mark up.
