Can you say that you love your job?
Do you consider it to be stressful?
what is your favorite part of the job?
NHinvestor,
REI is a business, like any other business. It is work. It has frustrations. It is stressful at times. It is boring at times. There is nothing magical or particularly fun about any business. I like it because it lets me set my own schedule and I don’t like to work for someone else. Being the boss is infinitely preferrable to being an employee.
My favorite part of the job is collecting the rent.
The worst part of the job is dealing with deadbeat tenants that must be evicted (about 1% per month).
My advice is: don’t get caught up in the hype. If you can make money with REI and have the temperment to be self-employed, then go for it.
Good Luck,
Mike
I guess that is why you spend time on this board?
