Can we get a little bit of details? What type of property management? Residential?
What type of real estate sales?
Years self-employed, how you started.
I know this started as a troll thread by some attention starved guy, but a lot of us are at the age where we are looking for another hustle or are working transient jobs since the financial crash.
A little bit of details when posting your gigs would be cool rather than just bragging about all the $ you are making, just saying.

It all started playing UO at age 14-18 which got me interested in Real Estate (no joke). Used the money I had saved from working age 16-23 to buy my first house and I also acquired my Real Estate License which allows me to sell and manage residential real estate for others.
From age 23-32 I bought 4 more homes and moved into each new one while renting fully the one I left. Up until last year, I had friends living in every room of the house I lived in paying me rent which more than covered the mortgage. We were all gamers too so it worked out well.
Today in my early 30s , I own a small portfolio of Real Estate which is either rented long term or short term (airbnb) which provides a modest income of $30k/yr while each property pays for itself on 20 yr mortgages.
My bulk source of income is the sales and property management career where I make way too much money, 3-6% selling homes for others and managing rentals for them for a 10% monthly fee. The personal real estate portfolio helps but is mainly for retirement or when a bus hits me and I cant work anymore.
My success is a combination of an early start, persistence and timing of when I made some money and the state of the housing market when I made it and what I chose to do with my spoils. It would be difficult to recreate exactly but the morale is, MMOs helped me identify market opportunities, especially with real estate, THANKS ULTIMA ONLINE! See Dad, I wasn't wasting all my time in High School!
I think its hilarious others here pointed out their MMO experience as a precursor to success. It really is true.
