I have been married for 21 years, but at the 20 year mark I found my abusive husband had been sexually inappropriate with our daughter. So he was arrested and is out of the home. For 2 decades I gave over my control to him and suffered a great loss of self confidence. I am however getting my faith in myself back slowly.
I also have a son, who I hope will join me in this venture-once I can prove that it works. He is 20 now...not sure how that happened as I am sure all those years didn't pass for me!!
I am 48, was injured on the job back in 2006, and have not been able to work since. This little tidbit had me trapped in my marriage years after I wanted to leave. His behavior took care of that. My first order of business is to get enough money to hire a lawyer and get a divorce. Which is one of the motivating factors in taking the step into this business.
The major factor though, is that since I cannot work (not that I really WANT the dreaded JOB) and social security says I am not disabled enough, I have not prospect for an income from traditional routes. Real Estate has made more millionaires than any other profession. I have decided to be one of them. I will no longer be a victim,I shall lead, not follow, I will take control of my life and live up to my true potential.
You go, girl!
I'm brand new on this site and clicked on your name when I saw that you were online. I'm a 60 year old widow with 2 grown kids from Houston, TX. Real estate investing is going to silence all of my dream-stealers. I know we can do this! You are a survivor and that makes you stronger than most people. Hang in there.
Blessings,
Bonnie
