Are you looking for something new and exciting? Is your job
driving you mad because you work so hard and yet never seem to
be getting any further ahead? Well consider with me going into
property sales and or investing. All you have to do is take a
real estate course, and get licensed as a realtor and you can
embark on a new chapter of your life that is fast paced,
involves all sorts of interesting people and situations, and is
SO profitable its almost like if someone were to get paid
millions of dollars to play a fun game like golf…
Wait… people do that don’t they. Well the joke is on me I guess
because I have a blast doing this stuff. So much though that I
feel like I should go to jail every day for getting paid to
have all the fun that I’m having. You see I was a manufacturing
engineer in Detroit, Michigan designing bumpers for the F series
Ford trucks. Tons of fun, as I am sure you can imagine. No way!
So you will understand why I was looking for something else to
spice up my life a little and brighten my future. That is when
I came across an advertisement for a real estate course that
was being taught that weekend at the local career center.
The course was cheap and only for one weekend so I thought why
not? I’m not a dummy and I had been watching the price of homes
shoot up year after year. I mean when I sold one house and
bought another in a matter of weeks two years before, I watched
realtor pocket $12,000 bucks in a little under three weeks of
work (and the crazy thing was that mine was the 3rd house that
the realtor had sold that week!) Anyway, doing the math I
realized how much this translated as far as the income
potential for the whole year. So I was geeked to say the least
about taking that real estate course.
That weekend I learned the basics of real estate marketing,
buying, and selling. It only took me a couple of weekends of
studying after the real estate course to pass the licensing
exam and then I started on what was to become a wild ride. At
first I helped people buy and sell houses on the weekends, but
it only took me 6 months of that to realize that it was silly
to keep my “day job.” Now I am to the point where I am living
in my own 5,000 square foot palace, with 10 other income
properties, and work about 6 mo of the year making 3 to 4
hundred grand per year.
