I wouldn't call myself a serious investor as of yet; however, that is eventually exactly what I want to be. My full-time employment is working as a deep-sea diver and subsea inspection project manager in which I freelance as a contractor. I generally work 3 to 6 months a year, and for the rest of the time I follow my hobbies such as rock climbing, skiing, and spending time with my wonderful wife.
I have 4 properties: two rental condo's in Thailand (where I lived for 4 years previously), 1 rental condo in Denver, and 1 house in Denver which I own.
Last summer my wife and I bought the condo in Denver and put about 14K into the rehab. We did most of the work ourselves and our now receiving a 10% ROI.
After recently finishing my Bachelors in Business Project Management, I'm looking forward to learning more about real-estate and will be pushing to making it my full-time job. Hopefully has a professional investor I can give up having to go away offshore every few months and simply be close to my family.

@James Sutton welcome and great start into RE investing. You said your wife is risk averse but she married a deep sea diver. Seems like she may not be as risk averse as you are saying. As your real estate grows she will see process works and become a fan.
