This history teacher profits $45k/mo from his rental properties

Saw this news article and was inspired to share it here!

Dominic is a history teacher in Chicago who clocks in $45k/mo from a real estate portfolio he started building 27 years ago. There's nothing different about him compared to you. He's a regular guy who worked hard, lived below his means, and invested as much as he could in buying property. No, this is not the sexy HGTV-style version of real estate investing - it's the real wealth-building kind. It's also proof positive that you do not need to start off wealthy to do it. You don't need to be in the trades or have a background in construction, or finance, or anything else. You don't need to be a genius or have specialized knowledge. You just have to START, and KEEP GOING.

So, will you be the next Dominic?

Quote from @Alex Fenske:

Good share. Notice he started in the 90's without a BiggerPockets calculator, without the forums, without 50 different books on how to invest, without AirBnB, and so many of the tools we have today. He followed a simple formula: save money, buy in an area you know, like, and trust, then rinse and repeat while learning along the way.
