QUOTE (2ndstory @ Jun 1 2010, 02:37 PM) Thought I would ask. I was thinking about it after posting in another thread that I am a teacher. Are there any other teachers investing? If so, how do manage your time. Do you have any tips or advice for a fellow teacher / investor? etc. How long have you been teaching? Investing? Why do you invest in addition to teaching? And so on an so forth.

Hi Nik,
This is my first post (you brought me out of the woodwork) my wife and I have been members for 3 months but our mentors and JV partners have been members for a long time and we finally took their advice and joined.
I am a teacher 8 years and my wife is a former teacher who now runs a Non-Profit group that she founded for kids with special needs (
www.adaptabilities.ca).
Managing time is a challenge that most investors face but we do our best to be organized in all aspects of our life. We have learned what tasks we should do ourselves and which one we need to have someone else do (example:clean our house). We have a part time nanny who helps with child care when we have meetings etc.
We now have just closed on our 4th property in Edmonton and are working with a group we formed to purchase a multifamily property this year. Life is busy but our Belize is important to us.
As for why we invest on top of Real Estate we would not have the life we want with out doing that extra bit as all investors know. Short term pain for long term gain.
