Finding a new day job to help with REI

[Nicole Groenewald]

We had a baby a few months ago and he’s in and out of the hospital. I won’t be able to work outside the home as a nurse because the hours just don’t work with caring for my son and my husband’s schedule.Long term we’re looking to have me run our REI business anyway. So looking at a career shift that’s more flexible hours. I’m debating between a real estate agent and building inspection. Both require some education and financial investment. Because I’m not the best sales person I think I’ll be more successful as a home inspector but the perks of getting pre-market deals as a real estate agent seems more helpful long term. And maybe long term I need both. Anyone start in REI with one of these careers and have some helpful Input? We’re in Houston, a fairly competitive market for real estate agents...
