What are some ideal day jobs for the aspiring REI?

[Heather Fox]

I don’t know too many real estate investors (yet!) and I’m very curious to know about BP members’ work backgrounds.

I could listen all day to stories about how the people I want to be like - got to where they are.

What jobs have you had before, and during, your real estate investing career?

Which jobs, in and out of real estate, helped you develop the skills - or simply the income - that have been crucial for your real estate success?

Bonus question! If you could go back and pick a job to do for a year or two before you purchased your first investment property, that would help you on your way to REI with income and/or skills, what job would you choose and why?

Thanks in advance for your responses. And hi from Milwaukee, WI!
