Full time or part time ?
Hey everyone ! I have been doing a lot of research , attending webinars and reading books. I am just curious, when you were starting out , did you have another full time job or do you think this Is something you need to dedicate full time ? Obviously this varies but as a full time employee I am having difficulty getting myself starting in fear of totally overwhelming myself.
I guess here is my story. I am a full time special education teacher. I own my own home, hopefully my forever home. I realize that I want more in life than a teacher salary can offer. I have some money saved but not enough for a downpayment on a rental and honestly saving is slow going even when being very stingy. I've been looking into flipping and wholesaling which seem to be possible with less cash on hand. Has anyone used partners to start out?
Share any thoughts or stories of your own. Thanks!
