Laid Off Moment That Triggered Full Time Investing
Dustin Heiner described being laid off from a county IT job after paternity leave which pushed him to commit to real estate investing full time.
He bought his first property in 2006, grew to 30+ single-family homes and nearly 1,000 apartment units, then quit his job because rentals produced reliable monthly cash flow.

Dustin insists on finding property managers, contractors, insurers and inspectors first so each purchased property reliably produces $500–$600 monthly cash flow.
