New Investor Looking For Advice!

[Lee Stephens]

Hello everyone! 

Was hoping to get some advice on next steps I should take... 

I currently live at home (no financial obligations) and plan to do so for the next 5 years. I work full time as a property admin and just got my degree in finance. My plan is to get a job in the finance industry as either an analyst or an advisor as the pay will be far better than what i'm at now. I see myself as an advisor; however, I'm hesitant to go that route as it will require further studying for certifications which will make it more difficult to focus on real estate, whereas an analyst will not require additional certifications/studying. 

I have yet to make my first deal, but have been educating myself and been working in the industry for well over a year and will execute within 3-6 months. 

I also have around 50k in capital and can build from that somewhat quickly being that I live at home with no financial obligations. The end goal is to build enough monthly cash flow to where I can become a full time investor. 

Do you think it makes more sense to go the advisor or analyst route? 

Thanks in advance, 

Lee
