OfflineI have been doing back breaking work since I got out of high school. Real Estate has been one of my dreams since my junior year. I have been in construction for about 9 years. Also I have done a lot of odd jobs just to stay a float. To me it really has seemed like my life has been one punctuated joke after another. I want to change all of it, my life, my financial situation, and my direction. I really have a lot of people in my life I not only want, but have the need to help including myself. Just recently I was In a car wreck and my vehicle was totaled and I have been on foot every since. That was more tan a year ago. I really did hit rock bottom. My medical bills alone are more than a decent car price. I can't really worry about them because I am still here. I have bought Deans "Gain The EDGE 2010" to actually see how real estate works and how some people got their start and to further my knowledge about RE. I am going to be getting Dean's books to learn more. Right now is a real struggle for me, because all the people in my family are negative people. I have told my dad about me doing real estate and every time I mention it he tells me "you need to get a real job and stop fooling around with this pipe dream." Needless to say i have my work cut for me.
