Well, the ice storm is over with. Just a little taste of what I left behind in Erie. I miss the comaraderie of driving in such nasty weather. It used to be that all I would see on the road were Jeeps and other hardy vehicles. Saturday night I was waiting in a drive thru line of nothing but trucks, watching a seriously modified jeep cherokee drive up and down the street delivering pizzas.
It’s melting now and getting warmer. So that’s the end of that. it’ll probably be 2 or more years till I need my ice scraper again.
I’ve been doing some reading. Real estate investing. I’m in no position right now to do anything…no money, no knowledge, but the plan is formulating. My old landlord, Todd Burton, is a self made business man who makes a killing buying, fixing up, and selling/renting properties. I intend to learn everything I can from him, and within a year or two make my first investment. Within 5 years, I intend to be self employed. Sound crazy? Maybe. All I know is that for me and my wife, being wage slaves is not in our future. We each have our own wishes when it comes to being self employed. I want to own and rent real estate. She wants to open a coffee shop. We won’t be able to do these things unless something changes. Todd was able to make these things happen for himself and is more than willing to share his methods with me. Who better to learn from than a guy who is doing it?
