Real estate again…

I must admit that for the first part of this year, real estate gave me a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I had some experiences that taught me a lot, but that were extremely frustrating and turned me off to it for a while. Lately though, I have been thinking about getting back into it, and have taken the appropriate steps to do so.

A the end of August, I attended a probate auction for two mobile homes with a friend’s dad who is a real estate investor. Basically I watched him make more than my yearly salary in a day.

As if that wasn’t enough motivation, this year I feel like my Halloween plans are going really well. I have created some great props and a cool facade, and have learned a ton about prop automation. This reminded me that what I really want to do with my life is work most of the year at my current job, and make enough money in real estate to be able to spend three or more months a year making a professional haunt for the Halloween season.

This time I’m going to be more careful about who I deal with, and the things that I end up doing in real estate. I really like it, and it’s a great way to make some cash on the side and be able to spend more time with the people I love.
