- They purchased homes, rehabbed them, and flipped them for handsome profits
- Others purchased multiple homes, mortgaged them, and rented them
- Police officers, teachers, firefighters, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, plumbers, electricians, cashiers, small business owners, blue-collar workers, white-collar workers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, and military personnel all became real estate investors and they all made money
- Many folks in these professions made so much money in real estate that they ended up quitting their main jobs and became professional real estate investors
