Apartment Living Isn't So Bad

It's been over six months since the last time I posted here. Life has been pretty crazy. Sometimes things like blogs fall by the wayside.

My living situation is still the same. I'm still in my apartment and trying to get money together for my first investment property.

Keep reading to find out how I'm progressing.

Jobs are Hard

If you want to buy property, you need a job. 

Sure, I have a job. But I'm self-employed. This makes it pretty difficult for me to land a mortgage, especially as a first time home buyer.

Being self-employed is great and as far as per-hour pay, it's the most I've ever been paid in my life. But I need something stable. 

I've tried a few part-time jobs. Nothing is sticking. I hate them. And the worst part is they aren't doing anything to get me where I want to be.

I'm now on the hunt for a full-time job. Like a real career. I can do my self-employment thing on my own time and have double the money. At least, in theory.

Why does it matter?

Why do I want so badly to be involved in real estate?

Growing up, I used to see the rental property guys strutting around all day and collecting checks. They were legal gangsters. Well, they were to the eyes of a young man.

And it's what I want. It's  a great investment .

So, for now, I'm just going to keep living in my apartment and doing the best I can. I honestly like the apartment. It's cozy.

Conclusion

So there it is. I've spent the last six months bouncing from one crappy part-time job to another.

I'm honestly no closer to achieving my goals than I was when I started this blog. It's unfortunate, but I had to accept that this isn't going to be easy.

I'm not ready to give up on my goals any time soon. I'll check back in as soon as I can.
