In 8 days I will be 50 years old and kind of freaking out about time. It's begun to hit me.
I have been a real estate investor for 16 years where I have had feast and famine as a 1-person operation. However, 3 years ago, I finally figured things out where I am making 6 figures NET per deal. I only do 2-3 deals per year because I've been taking care of a very sick parent.
On top of it, I'm working very part time hours to hit these numbers of 300k net per year which is the promising component to this.
This year, I'm on pace to finally crack 7 figures net because I'm going at this fulltime.
I have been struggling mentally with this business model because 1) it is not referral based (where one homeowner will refer me to another), 2) it is not repeatable (once I do a transaction with a homeowner, 99% of them do not have another home to do another transaction) and 3, scalability (it's limited as a 1-man operation). Number 3 has its issues because if I bring people onboard with me, they may discover what I'm doing and threaten the secret sauce I figured out, so I've remained as a solo operator.
In 5 years (55 years old), I want to have the option to retire. Not saying I will but I want to do whatever the hell I want to, when I want, if I want, how I want. So I need something that will income passively or at least very hands off.
I could start dumping my money into rentals, which I have none right now, that are somewhat passive or two, buy into a business that throws off money.
I just don't know where to go from here and time is not on my side so what should I do?!
Let's just say, I can make 1-2 million net per year in this business, I just wonder if I'm not going "big enough". I know guys my age that are worth north of 80 million because they went into the supplement business just a few years ago because it is referral based, repeatable, and scalable.
What do you all recommend? Please help!
