My goal is to be a real estate buy and hold as well as flip a coupe houses a year.

I make 1200 a month. Should I get a second job and make 2000 a month, and save up for my down payment or should I go to school to be a maintenance technican. Which I will no the basic plumbing, electrical, hvac, drywall, landscape. The school cost 5000. My rent is 300 a month.

I asked a simular question before but I worded it wrong. Just want the community s input.

Wayne Freeman ... On the job training from a local investor would be the best option.. You learn basic carpentry, etc while you make money from an experienced investor. Some investors complete rehabs along with a crew. Find your local RE investors and ASK!!
