I still have a hard time believing it but it has now officially been a full year since I’ve been a full time real estate entrepreneur and investor. To mark this milestone, I thought I’d share a little about what my life is like now that I’ve been away from the J-O-B for 12 whole months.

If you are a long time subscriber (or even a new visitor), you know that all has not gone well. I’ve made some mistakes, learned some lessons, and also got pretty unlucky. Maybe this is normal for all real estate investors. So the question is: even with all the issues affecting my cash flow, did I still make good returns AND was it worth it?
