Real Estate Investing as a Side Job for Pilots
Hi All,
This is my first post, so hopefully I have this in the right spot in the forums, but I have always been fascinated in real estate, especially in buy and hold and house flipping. That being said, I am a pilot and while I don't have much free time on my hands in my current role, there a number of pilot jobs with pretty cushy schedules... 7 days on 7 days off, or on call 24/7 but you really only get called 15 days a month. Are there any other pilots on BP that have been able to be successful in the real estate investment scene? Or is that a bit of a pipe dream?
