(I was present in the January session for a presentation by Katrina Korfman - professor at Rochester University and one of the founders of the Rochester lead program - She stated that program was successful as it "made it economically, politically, and morally unacceptable to tolerate lead exposure to our children" )In 2019 I finished my broker's license and opened LaPlante Real Estate, a full service brokerage specializing in property management.

Now we have murals on the side of my house and West Point professors buying the townhomes next to me for literally 50 times more than I paid for my property just a few years ago.

It's the other stuff I learned there that was so valuable and I use every single day in my business:-How to listen to someone (professor) who wants you to give them a product or information in a specific way, much differently than you might think it should be done.

You would go to college to network with high-income individuals (professors if you'd consider them as such) and use them as references to your character if you ever need it (it would definitely come in handy).

It has genuinely helped with the laser focus on my real estate journey.In 2020 I will continue to network in my area as a newer investor, gladly continuing being a sponge but being more proactive in acquisitions and getting into the habit of analyzing deals (hypothetical BRRRR, rental, and wholesale).I also plan on taking my real estate license exam at the end of this year as I'm enrolled in my final RE courses, taking advantage of professors' experience in the industry and learning the market through various lenses.All in all it does seem like a promising year!

However, the professor, who owned many in apartment buildings in Fullerton, CA, encouraged me to invest in real estate and became a close friend. 

You should be an adjunct physics professor a community college and pull in solid 38K a year.

I am well educated ex professor and counselor but totally new to this field and I am willing to share in profits to get started for I need to start making some serious money soon.

Btw, if you want to read about some GREAT ways to streamline health care and reduce costs, check out "The Innovator's Prescription," by Clayton Christensen, a Harvard professor and author of "The Innovator's Dilemma," (one of the most influential books in the technology world from the past 20 years).

I have a guess that your father is a teacher/professor.
