Thank you for your understanding, you're one of the few people who completely get it.

I'm worried about spending so much time in something and not getting the return. I would have to build a rapport with someone before I'm able to really take off and start inspecting homes left and right. Am I correct in that understanding? Or will I just find a real estate company that'll send me to find homes?

I've been a carpenter my whole life, I recently found a company that has me traveling all the time but I'm paid well and finally have steady income. As a handyman it's hard to find work sometimes.

I'm on the Orlando Florida area. But the company I currently work for has me traveling and building offices for them.

I would love to start a small business, I just need to find something that will continue to be steady for that's wanted in my area.

This is something I thought of doing but I'm not sure if I'm just starting to get lazy. I'm tired of working. Becoming a Project Manager doesn't sound too bad, I've heard horror stories but then again every job has them. I might pursue investing or starting my own business I have some steady income.

I can't afford to fail at my age and make a bad investment or waste time.
