As of right now, I'm taking using my time to learn real estate investing while doordashing. This works well for me because I'm a college student so I can spend my time driving and listening to podcasts while making money that I hope to use to fund my first investment.
The money isn't AMAZING but it's certainly better than nothing. Not to mention, making money is no longer limited by the hours I get scheduled for at my other job doing marketing for a home inspection company.
