I left my engineering desk job for real estate. I love building stuff so am a bags on builder everyday but working for myself; either to keep as a rental or sell after construction. Started in remodeling but am now doing new construction. Loving it, while growing a portfolio and taking enough income to be comfortable.
Thinking about being more of a lender in the next 7-10 years when my current development projects run out and my body asks to not be a carpenter daily. Not there yet.
