John was quick to point out where he came from and while he could certainly have an ego, it was well earned. :)

I've only "dabbled" in the real estate investing on a part-time basis and look to continue the same pattern until I've earned enough income to dive in on a full-time basis.

- How much money do you need to earn?

Lucky for me, I eat very well, sleep well too as all of my money was earned ethically without deceiving anyone.

Maybe I should get my GC and earn that extra 150/sqft in Cali!

What I am thinking is with my General Contractors License I will be able to help Buyers, Sellers and people interested in flips by hiring the subs to do the work while I qualify the numbers and supervise the remodels or rehabs for my clients so as to earn the sales or listing commissions.

I was taught that whatever you want, you need to earn it.

you put up some money and learn learn learn, while you earn earn earn.

This is an awesome dream job to play video games and now I have A LOT of extra time to find ways to earn more money.

Month to month lets you move to place you like better if you find one.In the mean time register for Section 8 and see where that leads to.Then maybe once you have a shower and bed, go look for a Temp Job at a Temp service and start earning some money and increase the quality of your life.I see that as a workable strategy for you.
