Hello BP Community,

I'm eager to start a career in REI. At the moment , i'm considering my next move, and could use some advice. I've heard multiple times that time is my biggest asset. However, I want to focus it on the right activities and education in the meantime.

In short, i'm debating whether to jump right in and pursue deals through creative financing (I don't have sufficient funds saved up at the moment), or if I should look for a day job in the industry. My thought process is that a day job would allow me to save money for an investment while gaining experience. This could include a more conventional job in finance, or helping out an investment team with their grunt work and auxiliary tasks. Whatever it is, I hope it increases my knowledge in the industry while adding value to whoever I support. 

Any advice or insights would be valuable! Thank you for reading this far.

Sincerely,

Brent
