Benefits of different job experience for a Newbie

[Jordan Campbell]

Hello Everyone!

I am fairly new and still trying to get the ball rolling with REI. I want to be a full time investor as soon as possible, but am fully aware this is not a business that happens over night. Currently, I live in the Boise / Nampa area in Idaho and am in good position to find a new job. I am most interested in the BRRRR strategy as I am looking for cash flow, but would enjoy rehabbing properties as well.

My main question: What types of jobs within the Real Estate Investing field would be best for someone like me to get the most useful experience possible? 

As I am trying to learn as much as possible, it would seem ideal to work directly with another local investor. I am not afraid to swing a hammer, but I am also hoping for exposure to the business / deal side of things. The more exposure the better, right?

To keep it short, I'll end it here in hopes of a good conversation. I would love to answer more questions about my situation to help you help me. Any advice is greatly helpful!

Best,

Jordan Campbell
