I did some Section 8 and it honestly galls the hell out of me that a tenant can get a free place to live, free utilities, free food and the opportunity to only have to work the baby maker to get more.

After I had been buying rental property for about 5 years - and about the time I had moved most of my properties to solid blue collar neighborhoods, I was able to resign from my 9-5 career - However, the income I was able to create only accounted part of the equation that allowed me to leave a very good career with a great income and incredible benefits - The main reason I was able to walk away from a great job was because I had reduced my personal monthly expenses to a manageable monthly obligation - I lived well below my means and invested every penny that I could save over those 5 years.Leaving the 9-5 allowed me the freedom to focus 100% on real estate and not worry if the electric bill would get paid and if there would be food on the table - we continued to acquire additional properties and we flip several houses a year - but most importantly, I spend every second of my valuable time doing whatever I want to do -It just so happens that one thing I love spending my time doing (real estate) also creates amazing wealth building opportunities.Good Luck and Happy Investing,jeff
