I have been falling in love with real estate my entire life and decided to take my passion and turn it into a career.I do not have any professional experience in Real Estate..

It's dangerous, it's irresponsible, and it has cost me a fair amount of money over the last 8 years in my home value, as well as market investments, so it's something I'm fairly passionate about.My biggest point is that no one here seems to think in these terms.

I got my degree in teaching and regardless of what I do, I will always teach as it is a passion of mine.

Soooooo busy....long shifts....tired me....BUT....definitely a source of inspiration to get more properties and kick this thing in gear.I want to add to everyone that this is exactly the kind of discussion that I was hoping to have...many amazing suggestions from lots of great folks....experts in their fields debating the merits of their different strategies...and debate over which ideas presented would be right given the parameters of the original question....and for everyone's input...We (probably everyone on BP as well) am/are truly thankful.I do believe that it is possible for everyone to have their own passionate beliefs about REI strategies(or anything for that matter)...and as they say...their is more than one way to skin a cat....that we have so many EXPERTS that are willing to join into such a discussion is also a blessing, because we are able to learn from so many different points of view.I hope that the spirited debate currently going on does not hurt anyone's feelings however...threads like these can easily have meanings misinterpreted (much easier to talk about these things in person) and without intending to people can wind up coming away with a bad taste in their mouths....That just seems to be the nature of online debate...but I feel that the players here are...for the most part...understanding that this is all for learning purposes...and that I would hope we could all go out for a beer afterward....figure a way to use the best of all strategies together and all come away with Lambourginis!!!  

I have always been very passionate to learn about Real Estate, and Bigger Pockets opened up so many more possibilities for me as an investor. 

If it had, I would have stayed working, even though my passion was REI.  

Thanks, if you're particularly passionate or knowledgeable, I would love to connect and get further advice.

I have also been learning construction and engineering principles and ideas, because I am passionate about that, even though I didn't study it formally, as well as DIY projects which I tackle at my own house, so I think I might be suited to a rehab property, which is what I am kind of drawn to.

You want your card to represent you well, showing potential clients that you have a passion for what you do and are an expert.

I would suggest you look at your skill set and passions and see where those line up with the various parts of the real estate business options.
