Career opportunity or invest in the BRRRR plan advise

Jason Branch

Posted

Here's the story. I currently live in San Diego as an hvac service technician making between 60-70k a year. But I plan on moving to FL in July. I put in for working at Military sealift command this past June. (basically supplying Navy ships around the work on a government contract.) I'm at the last stages of being hired, if I am hired I will only be in the states 2-3 months out of the year. But it's an awsome opportunity. Do I take the job if they select me, or do I keep doing hvac and get a second job ubering to stack money faster and start the BRRRR process in FL wich will most likely start out as a house hack. Currently I have nothing saved. But I am going to start, thus will also include my taxes and if I start ubering on the side after work. I will also be taking a pay cut if I go with the new job. Any words of wisdom is appreciated.

Jason Branch well from where I'm sitting reading what you wrote you already answered your own question. You've always wanted to get paid to travel the world and you have the opportunity to do it. Real estate investing isn't going anywhere, it will be available to you when you're done living your dreams in 3 years (or whatever the term is). Travel the world is only available to you when you are young, and even if you could gain financial freedom and do it later it's better to do it while you're young fit and single. Go live your dream. During that time stockpile cash and get educated. Best of luck to you whatever you choose.
