Advantages of REI investing…
November 23rd, 2005 by KenricWell, since things are slow in my REI world and it’s Thanksgiving I thought I’d put a post together about why I like REI investing. Other than the potential money aspects, there are countless perks of not having to go to a 9-5. I find myself realizing these things when I am out and about…
One afternoon, I was at LA Fitness working out. Then I walked into the basketball court and of course at 2pm on Thursday, nobody else was in there. So I shot about 500 free throws (68% FT average BTW) and thought, wow I can’t believe that I’m doing this on a weekday at 2pm.
Every Thursday, me and my dogs go for a 2 hour hike in the White Tank Mountains at 11am-1pm. I like going at this time because there’s usually nobody else on the trails.
I can go to IKEA at 10am when its empty.
My plane tickets are always cheap because I fly Tuesday and Wednesdays.
A long day for me consists of more than one errand, like Target and the bank… whew, what a long day!

Stumble it!
I’m reading your blog from the beginning - lots of very helpful info here, thanks!
At this point in the narrative I have lost track of what your monthly passive income is, so it might be nice to add a chart outlining what comprises your monthly income (ie, what enables you to not have a 9to5 job).
Also - do you miss engineering at all? What other (non-financial) dreams and interests do you have, and are you following up on them? The reason I ask is that so many RE investors seem to get 100% of their enjoyment out of REI. Which is great of course, but I sometimes wonder if someone like me (with interests and dreams beyond REI) can make this work if
