I am a public school teacher who is wishing to learn as much as I can about the real estate business. More specifically, how to build passive income through rental and flip properties. I have been educating myself through various books, websites, and podcasts. I'm looking to make my first real estate investment in the next year. I realize that I'm not going to get rich quick, and am willing to put in the time to build wealth. My overall goal is to build long term wealth for myself, wife, and kids. I do have dreams of one day being my own boss. However, I realize there is a lot of work and time that has to go into this dream. My wife and I have done a fabulous job of living below our means. I vehicles are paid off, we've lived in (and paid the mortgage on) the same house for 12 years, and we have very little debt. We are both driven to make investing a possibility.
