Getting Started In Real Estate Investing

Posted

Do I need to have a job in order to get started in real estate investing? I recently got let go by my former employer due to a family medical emergency where I had no more FMLA left. I state that because that situation left a sour taste in my mouth to the point where I want to put in the work to financial free and not have to work for someone else but I’m not sure if I actually need a job in order to do this. Please comment and give me your insight/perspective.
