>> I took a week off and immediately went to work with a small real estate company
and I've been involved in residential real estate ever since.
I have done remodeling.
I've done fix and flips.
I've done rentals.
I've done sales.
I've done appraisals.
It's an industry that allows you to work for yourself.
I've been a 1099 guy my entire career.
So I don't think I could've ever given up my business acumen to an employer.
I don't think I could've ever worked for an employer for long term anyway.
I've been able to control my destiny.
If I want to put on my khakis and kick back, I can do that.
If I want to generate business and do meetings, I can do that.
So I'm in charge and it's been good for me because I'm that kind of person.
I can't be on call 27/7/365.
So the prospect of being self employed has always appealed to me.
