Actually I've always had an interest, a fascination for property, houses, even land. From a child. I used to sketch designs into the dirt with a stick, actual plan designs.
It's something I could research well, all the reasons sort of came together, like a perfect storm for investment? Plus I think I do it okay, meaning there are enough aspects of it, (yes, I consider it a game too), to have good strengths in some areas, compensating for my lessor strengths.
I love sourcing the deal, I love the research, I enjoy bringing together a property to then get returns from it, I love getting the best returns possible, the 'crafting' of that.
I enjoy meeting the characters within the game, other investors, their stories, the tenants, the PM's, the mortgage broker! The builders, all the guys and gals.
Your question brings the response to my mind of 'let me count the ways'-but mostly it's a field I am interested in, it's a game and mostly-mostly it is fun.
I still sketch house design plans too.
Property is a girl's best friend.
