Working in construction sales to fund Real estate deals

[Sebastian Bustos]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to get your opinion on a job opportunity offered to me, as it might align with my RE investment goals but I'm not sure if I should take it. I currently work in IT as a support analyst but don't make nearly enough to fund my first small multifamily deal.
I'm considering doing wholesaling part-time, but I'm not sure if that's realistic without a solid marketing budget.
I have a sales background and was offered a job in construction/roofing sales recently. I'd have to sell and see the projects to completion, which will be a great skill to use on my own flips.
On the other hand, the IT industry has potential so leaving it doesn't seem like a good move.

Any thoughts are appreciated!
