Jeffrey Dawson has been in the building industry for over 27 years. He was with one company for 24 years when they decided to not pay for their health insurance. Being married & having children, there was no way he could afford that for long. He took a job with another building material company at lower pay and also took on a part time job at Home Depot until one day he had to take a good look at where he was going. Working two jobs, it was still hard to make ends meet. With the wear & tear on his body, it wasn’t worth the money. He decided to take a leap of faith and do something that he always wanted to do, but never knew how: real estate investing. He didn’t want to look back on his life & say “I should have tried something I wanted to do, but didn’t because of FEAR!”
