I was going to apply to Business School in 2013. I'm a Project Manger for IT Firm providing an ERP Solution. in late 2012 my wife and I started investing in real estate. We have acquired several properties. We find the homes, screen/place tenants, collect the rents, etc. We oversee renovation projects, maintenance, etc, we find contractors and other service people to complete work on the homes as needed. We have even decided to try our hand at a "flip" which we are doing now(bye bye student loans if it works).
Bottom-line...
This has become a lucrative side business, we have over $100K in revenues per year. Can I use this experience in conjunction with my "9-5" job to enhance my application? Or is this considered "not impressive" by business schools standards. Mind you my GMAT Score is only a 600, and my undergrad GPA is nothing to get excited about from a directional school.
I'm not trying to get into an IVY, just a strong Public School like Maryland, University of Michigan(Dream School), Arizona State, etc.
How do you tell weave the story of a business that was started, but you are not living and dying with it as an entrepreneur full-time. But at the same time, I can tell how the business has helped me in my 9 to 5 and vice-versa.[/b]
