Chapter 1: How It Started
––––––––
It was just past four o’clock AM. The alarm clock was sounding as I reached for the snooze button a second time. Already morning? No, no it can’t be! I reluctantly slid out of bed to get ready for work. I hated my job. I was exhausted.
––––––––
Years earlier, I had earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering and landed what I once thought of as my dream job
with a large U.S. automotive manufacturer. I moved 1,200 miles from home and was assigned to work in one of their state-of-the-art manufacturing plants. My first engineering role involved keeping the production machinery running and designing assembly tooling. I liked the fast-paced manufacturing environment. It was a good-paying job with ample benefits.
––––––––
The company had a great tuition reimbursement program, which I enthusiastically took full advantage of during my first few years. Utilizing this program, I earned two Masters degrees by attending college at night. Shortly thereafter, I was promoted into a series of management positions of increasing responsibility and I was quickly ‘climbing the corporate ladder’.
––––––––
It’s difficult to say exactly when I became so disillusioned and unhappy with my career, but at some point it happened. The long hours, the years spent on undesirable shifts, the corporate culture, the union-management conflicts...I no longer had the desire I once had. I dreaded going to work.
––––––––
It was late spring in 2003. I was walking out of the manufacturing plant one day with a coworker. On our way out, he asked me Why do you work here?
. What? I was a little stunned at the question and didn’t know how to answer. Before I could respond, he reached into a bag and pulled out a book on real estate investing. He handed it to me and said You need to read this.
.
––––––––
Not only did I read the book cover-to-cover, but when I was done with it I gave it to my husband and told him You need to read this.
. After my husband had also read it, I suggested that we start investing in real estate and he was onboard without hesitation from the very start.

We were both employed in full-time jobs when we started investing in real estate and I suppose in a way, that helped make it seem less risky. After all, we both had decent-paying jobs so if we made a mistake and lost some money along the way, it wouldn’t be the end of the world and we’d likely be able to recover financially. However, I don’t remember either of us ever thinking that investing in real estate was a big risk. In fact, I remember thinking quite the opposite...that if I did nothing and stayed with my current employer, in a job that I no longer liked - THAT was risky. And so, we began...
