First of all, congrats on living well below your means and searching for passive income as a way to fund your artistic passions.

I definitely didn’t make enough money for my time but I am also passionate about bringing these properties back to life so I did learn that it’s more than just about the money to me.

I'm pretty new in pursuing my passion in real estate.

I discovered my passion for real estate several months ago, and dove right in and started studying, reading books and listening to at least 50 podcasts so far.

I graduated college in May of 2017 and now  I work a full time 9-5 (well 7-3:30) job, that I am very happy with, but I have always had an interest and passion in the real estate world and would love to start part-time investing to make some extra cash and increase my yearly salary (as you can imagine I do not have "a lot" of money saved up at this moment). 

My wife, father-in-law, sister, and closest friends tell me this could be an answer to prayer and that I would have never fully pursued my passion for real-estate if this hadn't happened.

Plus we are very passionate about our business so its great to talk with others about what we do.

I would like to scale back my current work for a few years and start some new projects (both in R/E and some of my passions).

If you have a solid why and a passion about REI, others will gravitate more to you and over time, come to trust you more when you don't walk away and keep grinding.Background.

If you are passionate about real estate that's awesome, but it's going to much harder than selling cars unless you set it up from the start as a business that you want to learn everything about.
