All I wanted was to have enough passive income to play and teach percussion full time... I've practiced nuclear medicine for over 27 years. I have an S Corporation and provide coverage for offices when needed. In 2003, I heavily studied RE investing because I wanted out of the medical field (it is brutal). After a lot of studying books, CD's, REIA meetings, etc...I acquired 15 properties across four states and managed them all myself. I also got a mortgage license so that I would know the details about how that worked. Long story longer... I lost all the properties around 2009. The properties were working me, while I was working 60+ hours per week in Nuc Med and property management (my own). I stayed in Nuc Med in order to qualify for the loans. That was the school of hard knocks and I paid hefty Stupid Tax. After the initial crash, I bought a foreclosure (irony at its best). Fast forward to today. After several years of picking myself back up, working more Nuc Med, and selling that foreclosure that I rehabbed, I obtained my RE license. Not only to learn and know that process, but to have access to the MLS, Realtor education classes (there are several investor classes offered), and with my background as an investor, to help others obtain investment properties. I was investor 1st, Realtor 2nd. Terri Lynn Haley, BS, BA, CNMT, MM
