Experienced Designer / Sales Investor seeking next Steps

[Richard Phillip Lewis]

Seeking Advice / Feedback: A wise real estate friend of mine once said to work with people that are always teaching me something new.

Recently, this has struck a cord in me as I’ve started to stagnate with my progress in life. I’m 33 have a wife and 1 year old daughter.

I got hooked on REI back in 2016 and decided to get my license in 2018. I got my license to learn more about real estate, to manage my families beach property, improve my Investor tools and help friends and family when I can. I'm also very interested in the "art of the deal".

Along with having my RE License I also teach high school kids about Architecture, Engineering Design and Photoshop/Illustrator and how to create digital media. I went to college for Architecture and finished with an Industrial Design Degree. I chose the high school job because I can work 6am-2pm and still have time in the day. 

My next move: My happy place is working a real estate deal working with investors. I’m now also looking to use my Sketchup / Design / Sales skills all in one.

With the pending recession on the horizon I’m inclined to just tough it out through the school system for another few years but I’m truly burnt out and I know I’m wasting my time there. There is too much BS in the school system these days.

I’d love to get a new job that teaches me and pays me waaayyy more and feels like it’s worth my time but I can’t settle on something. The idea of a 9-5 desk job makes me cringe. I need to be active.

The only thing I want to do in life is to spend every day building wealth and creating assets that lead to financial freedom.

Ive read every REI book, Listened to hundreds of podcasts, and done a few RE deals over the past few years for friends.

My single family house is currently under contract and I should come out with enough cash to buy a multifamily property and start my REI journey.

Along with this move I’d love to shift my day to day to something that pays more, teaches me and helps me grow in real estate. I know I can be a great asset when utilized to the best of my ability.

If you’ve made it this far in my post I appreciate your time and any constructive feedback. 👍
