Not that long ago my net worth hit 5 million. I don't own a hundreds ...

I've asked this before but never received a response from anyone that had done this. Has anyone quit their job to become their own contractor in flipping their buy and hold properties? We have a few rentals. My husban...

My first real estate investment was in 2010. I kept acquiring properties, sometimes using the BRRR strategy. I've been without a day job for 1.5 years looking for more deals and got a couple large portfolios in 2016...
