401k vs Real Estate
I just graduated and got a job as a structural engineer (starting this month). I accepted a salary offer of about 70k a year with a 401k match plan available. However, I want to invest aggressively in real estate. Specifically BRRRR single/small multi family properties. I'm going to continue living with my parents and minimize my bills for at least a year to save up as much as possible. After that I plan to house hack, begin investing in BRRRR deals, and grow a portfolio quickly but cautiously. With that being said, should I put money into the 401k or keep all my money available for me to begin my investing career?
