Through some bad life choices in overspending and the untimely loss of a job, Alex Felice quickly learned what it was like to stress over money and face the consequences of living beyond his means.  As a self-described contrarian, Alex was well aware that he wasn’t going to find career contentment and resolve his financial dilemma by being tied to the tyranny of the 9:00-5:00 treadmill in a job he didn’t like, so he immersed himself in finding a path to pay down his debt and earn the freedom to live his life the Alex way.   Success in real estate investment gives Alex the leeway to do the things he likes best, and one of those things is sharing his real estate knowledge and helping others reach their goals through his blog and website, BROKEISACHOICE.COM.   He is candid in sharing the details of all his deals, offering readers the chance to learn from his successes and avoid some rookie mistakes.
