People’s equity has different values based on where they are in their investing career and desire to grow.

And you have some handyman skills and are a roll-up-your-sleeves type of person.What would it take to entice you to sacrifice a couple of years of your life to learn some very valuable skills that could jump-start your career?

When that happened I decided to switch careers from scientist to investor.

I love starting new businesses and trying to make them work and have met and worked with some wonderful people in my career.

I feel like being a cubicle jockey sounds really mind numbing and that if I pursue the investing and it works out it would be a much more fulfilling and interesting career / lifestyle.The other thing is I'm not signing up for some midnight "Buy with NO MONEY DOWN!!!!"

At this point in my career I have fairly high leverage in my portfolio.

It's just my observation over many years, but you can often tell how much money someone makes by how much they complain about paying taxes.I've been surrounded by high-earners and wealthy people for much of my career, and low-earners and poorer people for much of my career, and there's a very high correlation between earning less and complaining about taxes.

For example, this late in my investing career I purchase for all cash only.

Eric...I love the plain language, and the fact that you are actively doing this every day like we are.I actually bought your wholesaling course.. which is a real badge of honor for me ....I have resisted buying any of these packages for some time, because it seems as if all they want is the money for the course....if you look at their schedules, you know they dont have time for actually doing deals....its all about selling the course...I look forward to posting in here as I restart my wholesaling career for the third time... using your site and course as some current and timely guidance..Best wishesMike N

As it’s a learning experience rather than the pinnacle of your career you should not begin with Everest.
